Promoting Education and
Healthcare




The Give Right Foundation empowers families throughout the developing world. We accomplish this by providing rural communities access to prenatal point-of-care ultrasound with the dual aim of improving prenatal care and decreasing maternal mortality. Collaborating with Butterfly, an ultrasound device company based out of California, it donates portable ultrasounds to rural clinics, educates midwives in their use, and coordinates the logistics surrounding ultrasound scans with local healthcare providers.
