Robin Lim
For more than two decades, the health of mothers and their babies has been the focus of CNN Hero of the Year and licensed midwife Robin Lim. Her nonprofit,
Bumi Sehat, was founded in 1995 and in the years since, has helped more than 300,000 patients with a range of medical services in the Philippines and
Indonesia. Lim's team also assists with more than 1,000 deliveries each year.
After she was named the 2011 CNN Hero of the Year, "Mother Robin" used her prize money toward building new clinics in Indonesia and the Philippines. She has also been able to offer training and scholarships and expand her educational programs.
In the wake of the devastating typhoon that struck the Philippines in 2013, Lim's team was on the ground providing aid in places where health clinics were reduced to rubble. After the storm, Bumi Sehat set up a permanent clinic in the Philippines and continues to respond to areas hit by natural disaster.
