Birth Kentucky Better
Our Mission
The goal of Granny’s Birth Initiative is to provide aid to disadvantaged families during childbirth. These families often experience neglect due to societal biases or lack of recognition. The initiative focuses on offering assistance to incarcerated, homeless, orphaned, and BIPOC individuals who often face systemic and racial disparities in maternal and infant healthcare.
