Ah yes, the questionable value of checks notes reducing child and maternal mortality and providing HIV/AIDs treatment.

(That seems to be the primary mission of Jhpiego, where 90% of the layoffs occurred)

They've removed this [1] page from their site, but it's quite relevant. The main reason funding is being cut is for things related to DEI, gender, and so forth. And it seems this organization was heavily involved in such, which means they may have seen a significant reduction to their funding, even if nothing but funding related to these issues was scrapped.
