On Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm in Winston-Salem, NC, we are not only celebrating 25 incredible years of global health work, but also the legacy of our founder and fearless leader, Dr. Medge Owen.

As someone close to both Medge and Kybele over the years, you have played an integral part in Kybele's journey and we invite you to join us in celebrating these amazing accomplishments.

Join us at Meet the Moment - for a thought provoking evening that blends storytelling, conversation and collaboration - celebrating 25 years of Kybele's work while rallying a call to action for the future. Your voice, your presence, and your support will help ensure that every birth counts.

Our Winston-Salem venue is beautiful, but not overly big - so space may become limited. Don't miss this opportunity by buying your tickets now to this special Kybele event. Early bird prices end January 1.

Your support is very much appreciated and we look forward to seeing you there. Can't make it? Please consider supporting this event from afar with a sponsorship or donation. Thank you.

An important message from a Kybele Donor & Board Member....

In this video message, Dr. Carl Westphal states why he donates to Kybele and why it is important that current and/or past donors reach out to other globally-engaged community members and use this opportunity to share Kybele's work.

For all of us who believe that every unnecessary death of a mother or a baby is a tragedy, it is time to step up. Kybele is ready to meet the moment with your help.

The 3-page pamphlet that Carl refers to can be found in the first comment below. Thank you to Carl and all other Kybele donors. Your support is essential to helping us continue this important work for mothers and babies in the program countries we serve.

We have BIG PLANS for 2026.

We also face BIG CHALLENGES as global health funding cuts are happening everywhere. But, Kybele is agile and with your help, we are uniquely poised to meet this global crisis moment.

To stay on target of raising $800,000 in 2026, our goal is to secure $42,500 by December 31st to help launch us into our 25th Anniversary year.

Through our 25 years of experience working hand-in-hand with low-and middle-income country health systems, we have painstakingly developed approaches that are proven to save the lives of mothers and babies in low-resource settings. These approaches are highly cost-effective and can be sustained by hospitals and health systems without continued external support when they are up and running.

WE HAVE IMMEDIATE REQUESTS from governments across Africa to help them scale up these approaches and get back on track to reduce preventable deaths.

Will YOU help us MEET THE MOMENT?

Please consider Kybele in your year-end charitable giving plans.
Any contribution, big or small, would contribute to the life-saving work that is urgently needed in the face of substantial global aid cuts around the world. Thank you.

* 1.25 million newborn deaths
between 2025 and 2030 as a result of these global aid cuts.

For all of us who believe that every unnecessary death of a mother or baby is a tragedy, it is time to step up.

Yearly, 1 in 10 babies is born preterm (before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy). Babies born extremely preterm - before 28 weeks of pregnancy - face unique risks and complications.

On , we join our colleagues in highlighting the toll of prematurity.

Behind every early birth is a family navigating fear, long hospital stays and financial pressure.

Let's commit to better newborn care and stronger support systems for families across the globe.
