At a Glance
Ibu Robin Lim is a Filipino–American midwife, mother, grandmother, and founder of Yayasan Bumi Sehat, a nonprofit organization that provides free maternity care for pregnant women, mothers and their babies, plus healthcare for all those in need.
Born in the Philippines in 1956, Robin decided to become a midwife in 1991, when her sister and niece tragically died during childbirth. She qualified as a midwife in the United States and Indonesia, and founded the Bumi Sehat Foundation International in Bali, Indonesia. To date, she has birthed over 9,000 babies and is known by locals and international fans alike as “Ibu Robin” (Mother Robin). Bumi Sehat (which translates to “healthy mother earth”) operates clinics in Bali, Sumatra Island Aceh, Papua and the Philippines, as well as temporary clinics in disaster areas around the world such as Haiti and Nepal. Through the foundation, Robin trains and inspires more than 6,000 midwives and nurses per year, and over 300,000 people have benefitted from Bumi Sehat’s services to date.
Supporting the Most Vulnerable
With the fund, Bumi Sehat mobilized an emergency response. The team distributed 621 free masks from the early stages of the outbreak, conducted nearly 600 rapid COVID-19 tests, and provided food assistance to over 2,900 people — including the elderly, HIV-positive children, cleaning workers, and unemployed families. Essential staples like rice and eggs reached 200 households, ensuring that dignity and nourishment were not lost in a time of great uncertainty.
