Robin Lim – Global Citizen

In this video, Ibu Robin Lim discusses the mission and achievements of Bumi Sehat, a non-profit organization she founded in Indonesia. The organization focuses on providing respectful, loving, and free healthcare for mothers and babies, particularly in communities affected by poverty and disasters.

Key Messages:

  • Bumi Sehat was established to address the lack of accessible prenatal and maternal healthcare for families in poverty.

  • Before Bumi Sehat's existence, hospitals in Indonesia held babies until families could pay their medical bills, with limited time for mothers to bond with their newborns.

  • The organization now operates a full-service clinic open 24/7, staffed with doctors, nurses, and midwives, and has expanded its services to include community outreach and a youth center.

  • Bumi Sehat has responded to various global disasters, including the 2004 tsunami, and established clinics in regions affected by crises, such as Haiti and the Philippines.

  • The organization's philosophy emphasizes that gentle, trauma-free births foster babies' capacity to love and trust, aiming to create a more peaceful society.

  • The ongoing challenge is to secure funding for operational needs, such as essential medicines, to continue providing free healthcare.

  • Lim's vision is to promote global peace by offering compassionate care, one baby, mother, and family at a time.
