The Gates Foundation is part of a new $500 million effort to improve care for mothers and newborns in sub-Saharan Africa. The Beginnings Fund “aims to save the lives of 300,000 mothers and newborn babies by 2030 and expand quality care for 34 million mothers and babies” by targeting the key reasons mothers and babies die. Others involved in the fund include the United Arab Emirates’s Mohamed Bin Zayed Foundation for Humanity, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Delta Philanthropies, and the ELMA Foundation, all of whom will pool a separate $100 million for “direct investments in maternal and child health.” (Reuters)
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the Trump administration on behalf of six early-childhood-education providers to halt the dismantling of Head Start. The suit argues that the administration cannot make cuts to the program without congressional approval. It also argues that an administration order to abandon diversity, equity, and inclusion practices is “unconstitutionally vague” and is counter to its mission to meet the “diverse needs” of low-income families “dictated by the Head Start Act” of 1965. The Trump administration has temporarily frozen the program’s funding and laid off federal Head Start workers, and a draft budget for next year defunds the program, which serves 800,000 families.
