Ibu Robin Lim CPM is a Filipino–American midwife, mother, grandmother, and founder of Yayasan Bumi Sehat a non-profit organization in Indonesia. Lim also serves on the board of Bumi–Wadah Philippines, where she is known as “Lola Robin.” Her Passion is Human Rights in Childbirth. She believes that each individual is an essential “Piece of Peace” therefore by protecting the mothers in childbirth and the newborns (our smallest citizens of Earth) we may build peace, one Baby, one Mother, one Family at a time.
Yayasan Bumi Sehat is a not-for-profit organisation founded in Bali as well as registered in the USA as a 501C3. In the Indonesian language, Yayasan means not-for-profit organization, Bumi means the Earth Mother and Sehat means healthy, so we are the Healthy Mother Earth Foundation. Bumi Sehat opened first in Bali, in response to the high maternal and infant mortality rates. In the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, Bumi Sehat opened a second community health and childbirth clinic there. Bumi Sehat personnel have been early responders to many disasters, including the 2014 super-typhoon that destroyed much of the central Philippines. Currently under the name Bumi~Wadah we operate a third clinic and birth centre there; see:
