We’ve been training skilled birth attendants for 8 years.

Our graduates provide prenatal care in remote villages.

They also work in hospitals and birth centers throughout the country.

Haiti is the most dangerous country in the W. Hemisphere to be pregnant or an infant.

Women and babies need the knowledge and compassion of skilled birth attendants before, during, and after delivery.

Up to 50% of maternal and newborn deaths occur in the first

24-48 hours after childbirth.

We work at Hospital Ste. Therese, the public referral hospital in Hinche.

Only 1% of patients received postnatal care here in 2013.

Of 2,143 deliveries, that’s 21 mothers and newborns the entire year.

Meet Juslene and Illa, our new Postnatal Care Team
