In 2012 , the Bumi Sehat Foundation provided 50,050 recorded incidences of patient care , educational and human services . From its beginnings as a community health and childbirth clinic in Bali , Lim took the Bumi Sehat Foundation to Aceh following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami . Combined , the two clinics have facilitated the birth of more than 5,000 babies . And when earthquakes struck , Lim took the project to Yogyakarta in 2006 , Padang in 2008 and Haiti in 2010 . Lim and the Bumi Sehat midwives are prepared to provide maternal and infant care in the middle of devastated areas with limited materials . Instead of cutting the umbilical cord , for instance , she burns it — especially in disaster zones , because it 's something she can teach midwives and doctors who have lost their instruments . Using scissors to sever the umbilical cord carries a risk of tetanus , while burning the cord mitigates risk of infection . In addition to knowing how to safely respond medically , Robin Lim and the Bumi Sehat Foundation do n't have any particular religion , and honor all requests and faith traditions , aiming to help mothers feel safe and supported
