Global Pediatric Alliance

Small Grants Program: GPA funds well-conceived, sustainable grassroots health projects known to have a significant impact on maternal & child health designed by local communities with little access to quality health services. We provide assistance to empower groups to achieve long-term impact & sustainability. In 2024, GPAsupported six community-driven projects, including working with nearly 350 women & children in Guatemala and Mexico in order to reduce the severe malnutrition afflicting their communities, and prevent respiratory diseases and burns in children. The projects also strengthened the skills of 127 health promoters in Mayan communities, and promoted maternal & child health and nutrition services for Indigenous women and children, benefitting approximately 15,000 people.
