Preparing for Life

Each year, millions of children worldwide are born with serious diseases or even die from causes that can be prevented before conception and during early pregnancy. Morbidity and mortality can be significantly reduced by preconception care: addressing these causes through public awareness and equipping healthcare providers and other professionals for evidence-based interventions.

The Preparing for Life Foundation aims to equip and connect governemental policymakers and medical professional organizations in their specific roles in preconception care, so that appropriate information and health services are available for all women and couples worldwide, to preparing for life in an informed way for pregnancy. We want all children worlwide to be born wanted, loved, and healthy. 

We work in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all age.
