Green Cars for Kids Inc

Green Cars for Kids is a new South Florida-based nonprofit organization providing free transportation to healthcare services for low-income children and expectant mothers using electric cars. Our goals are to improve perinatal and pediatric health by increasing access to care for low-income pregnant moms and kids while helping to reduce carbon pollution that impacts frontline communities the most. We are an evidence-based solution to maternal and climate health crises. The pilot launched in June 2023 in Broward County, Florida, primarily serving zip code areas 33313 and 33311 with poverty rates of 20.9% and 27.4%, respectively. 57% of our clients speak Haitian Creole as their preferred language. In the first two months of service, our 1-car pilot program provided 588 rides to patients and their guardians to healthcare visits they otherwise would have missed. We are expanding in Broward and other Florida counties and can scale Green Cars for Kids to communities throughout the US.
