As the only national community-based African-American maternal and child health organization in the country, the 20-year-old organization continues in its effort to provide social support and guidance to 10,000+ babies and their families in over 90 communities in the U.S., Canada, Honduras, and Malawi.

Led by KATHRYN HALL-TRUJILLO, Founding Director of BPUSA and ASHOKA Global Social Entrepreneur, the organization aims to keep more babies of color alive by recruiting and training community Sister Friend volunteers to provide direction, emotional support, and education to mothers and moms-to-be.

Exclusively partnered with DR. MIRACLE’S, a leader in the ethnic personal care industry, BPUSA was founded in 1988 to renew dedication towards eradicating the infant mortality problem. “The fact that the US has buried more babies than soldiers during the last century is totally unacceptable and the inability to save our babies has to stop…now!” is her Call to Action.
