BABI-Bibs and Blankets International, a non-profit organization, Reclaiming the Global Village One Person at time through educational programs on birthing, farming, art, drug prevention and holistic living practices through a collaborative process. BABI Mission
BABI is a non profit organization dedicated to establishing improvement in health and population outcomes throughout the minority populat
ions of African-Americans, Blacks and all minority populations. BABI Goals
BABI's founding goal was to effect positive change for young women and girls by providing them with the mental, physical, and spiritual resources they need while promoting healthy lifestyle choices. BABI's services have now expanded to focus on community health promotion, education, health advocacy, and building capacity for high quality, culturally sensitive, and linguistically appropriate access and prevention services that lead to better health outcomes for minorities and the larger community. Our lives changed and our communities were all affected like other organizations worldwide. The nature of our work changed drastically because of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. After canceling our Annual BABI Village Leadership Awards we started to use the blueprint that has been set before us to serve our Global Village. From the needs of our community members and from the actions of other organizations globally, we got inspired to response to our community's needs during this crisis. The Macon County Community Grassroots Task Force was developed to support an Authentic Collaborative Communication between all task forces and COVID-19 related activities from Tuskegee University, local government, churches, and community organizations.
