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 these babies face — especially in places where hospitals lack reliable electricity, where conflict has damaged infrastructure and hospitals, or where families deliver far from medical care.


At Embrace Global, we meet those challenges with a simple, powerful truth: Warmth saves lives.


A strong start isn’t just about survival — it’s about honoring the promise within every tiny life. It’s about giving these babies the chance not just to survive, but to grow, thrive, and one day transform their communities and the world.

A Global Need, A Global Response

Across the world, our incubators are providing life-saving warmth in places where traditional equipment cannot. In hospitals experiencing rolling blackouts, in rural clinics recovering from conflict, in emergency shelters, and in ambulances navigating dangerous terrain, Embrace incubators are helping the smallest babies survive their first hours and days of life.


Failing to provide the special care these tiny babies need means losing more than a life — it means losing an entire world of possibility. What stories might never be told? What brilliance, curiosity, and courage might never have a chance to grow? What future leaders, healers, teachers, and dreamers are we losing simply because they were born too soon?


Every premature baby carries immense potential. Every life saved strengthens a family, a community, and our shared future. When we protect these newborns, we protect the stories they will one day write — stories of resilience, compassion, and hope.


Thanks to the compassion of our supporters and the dedication of our partners, we have now helped protect over 1 million newborns across 25+ countries. Each one represents a family kept whole, a mother who can hold her baby close, and a tiny life given a chance to grow.


Together, We Can Rewrite the Story for Premature Babies

On World Prematurity Day, we honor every baby born too soon. We honor their parents, who fight for every breath. And we honor the frontline health workers who do everything possible — often with very little — to keep these infants alive.


Your support makes this work possible. Your generosity sends warmth into places where it has been missing. Your voice helps us reach more babies who urgently need care.


Because every baby’s tomorrow begins with warmth.


Thank you for standing with us — today and every day.
