Our Global Health Reporting

One of the leading principles of Social Good Moms is to ensure our dedicated members have opportunities to report on global health and development programs on the ground with our partners in low- and middle-income countries and the United States. Each year we take Social Good Moms on our own insight trips, and similarly, we work directly with our partners to plan learning trips to see their work abroad with influential members.

If you want more information about planning a trip with us in 2026 email us at info@socialgoodmoms.com. We have previously worked with WaterAid America, Novartis, PSI, Coca-Cola, Save the Children, and World Vision US on insight trips abroad. We are also particularly looking to see programs in the United States that tackle maternal and child health.
