Beyoncé gives donation to a TED Fellow that could potentially save 1,900 babies
Jane Chen knew that, for her infant warmer to save lives, moms would need to be the evangelists for the device. But she had no idea that one of the worlds most famous momsBeyoncéwould be the one to help her pilot the product in 10 countries.
Last week, Beyoncé announced a $125,000 donation to Embrace Innovations, Chens organization that designed and distributes her infant warmer, a low-cost alternative to the incubator that looks like a tiny sleeping bag. The donation will fund pilot testing of the device in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda, and could help 1,900 underweight babies who, without it, might not live. This donationwhich Beyoncé announced at an anniversary party for Guccis Chime for Changewas the domino effect of Chen stepping on to the TEDWomen 2013 stage.
