Creating a world in which all premature babies have access to warmth.

Embrace Global is working to ensure that every baby—no matter where they are born—has the warmth they need to survive and thrive.

We partner with hospitals, NGOs, and Ministries of Health to deliver reliable, life-saving warmth for premature and low-birth-weight babies, even in places without stable electricity or with very limited resources.

We provide a safe, low-cost warming solution along with the training, implementation support, and ongoing partnership needed to ensure that newborns stay warm from the moment they are born. Together with our partners, we help keep babies warm, safe, and alive.

Every 40 seconds, the world loses a newborn to complications from preterm birth.

Premature babies struggle to stay warm, and those who develop hypothermia are 5x more likely to die in their first days of life.

1 million babies have been kept warm with Embrace incubators across 25+ countries and millions more still need our help.

Incubators and baby warmers – and close contact with their mothers – protect infants from hypothermia. But warming devices are expensive to purchase, complicated to maintain, and require stable electricity. That makes them impossible to use in many parts of the world, leaving small and premature babies vulnerable to the deadly effects of hypothermia.

A Few Degrees Meant a Lifetime: Kelvin’s Story of Survival in Zambia

Kelvin entered the world too soon, too small, and far too fragile to survive on his own. Weighing just 2.5 pounds, his tiny body struggled to do what full-term newborns can do with ease: stay warm. At a rural health center in central Zambia, the skilled birth attendant who delivered him immediately saw the signs of danger. Kelvin needed urgent, specialized neonatal care. But the nearest hospital was hours away and, for a preterm baby, every minute of cold can be life-threaten

Honoring World Prematurity Day 2025

Every year, millions of babies enter the world too soon — their bodies fragile, their temperatures unstable, and their first moments shaped by circumstances far beyond their control. But each tiny heartbeat carries a story of courage. And today, on World Prematurity Day, we celebrate those stories. For newborns born prematurely or underweight, simply staying warm can mean the difference between life and death. Hypothermia is one of the most common and preventable threats thes

A Story of Warmth in Ethiopia

When 37-year-old Teberh, a mother of four, arrived at Endabaguna Primary Hospital after days of labor complications, she was terrified. Her pregnancy was only 32 weeks along, and the nearest hospital with advanced equipment was more than 55 kilometers away—over rough, unpaved roads. She gave birth to a tiny baby girl weighing just 1.8 kilograms (3.9 pounds). Within moments, her newborn’s temperature fell to a dangerous level of hypothermia.
