About Us
Giving every newborn a chance to live.
We are a family of caregivers, volunteers, and advocates working to make sure no newborn is left behind.
Who We Are
Cradle of Hope Initiative for Neonates (COHIN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving newborn health and survival — especially among vulnerable and low-income families.
We believe every child deserves a healthy start to life. Through awareness programs, hospital partnerships, and direct family support, we bridge the gap between those who need care and those who can give it.
What began as a passion to save lives has grown into a movement of compassion, advocacy, and hope for newborns across communities.
Our Mission
To ensure that every newborn, regardless of background, receives access to quality healthcare.
Our Vision
A world where no child dies from preventable causes and every newborn thrives.
Our Core Values
Compassion
We care deeply for every newborn and family, offering kindness and empathy in all we do.
Equity
Every child deserves equal access to quality care, regardless of background or circumstance.
Integrity
We act with transparency and accountability, earning the trust of those we serve.
Collaboration
We build partnerships with healthcare providers, families, and communities to create lasting change.
Excellence
We strive for the highest standards in service, advocacy, and outcomes for newborns.
Why Our Work Matters
Every year, thousands of newborns die from preventable causes. Many families simply cannot afford timely medical care or lack access to trained professionals.
Cradle of Hope Initiative for Neonates bridges this gap — providing advocacy, training, and direct support that give babies a fighting chance to survive and thrive.
Every heartbeat deserves a chance.
