In Indiana, Black families bear the heaviest burden of maternal and infant loss. Black women&rsquo;s maternal mortality rate is about 93% higher than that of white women, and Black infants die at more than twice the rate of white infants.&nbsp; Breastfeeding is associated with about a 33% lower risk of infant death in the first year, yet Black communities often lack access to culturally rooted lactation support. Indiana Black Breastfeeding Coalition (IBBC) exists to change this reality for Black parents&mdash;but we cannot do it without you. At Indiana Black Breastfeeding Coalition Inc., we focus on elevating maternal and child health for African American families in underserved communities across Indiana. Your gift powers:- Culturally informed perinatal education programs for Black parents- Distribution of breastfeeding supplies to families who need them most- Mentorship for emerging lactation and birth workers of color Your support directly fuels healthier pregnancies, safer births, and stronger postpartum experiences for Black families.
