We’ve included information about Mama Baby International (MamaBaby Haiti) below.

At MamaBaby Haiti our mission is to provide a safe place for Haitian women to receive compassionate and respectful maternity care. We are dedicated to improving the health and well being of the women and infants of Haiti, one woman and one child at a time.

This vision is achieved through the application of evidence based midwifery care, delivered primarily by Haitian midwives and supported by volunteer midwives from around the world. Healthy women make for healthy families.

Our goal is to offer services to women that will decrease their risk of dying from what should be a normal life event: pregnancy and birth. However, Haiti has the highest infant and maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. It is our core belief that no woman or child should ever die because of where they live.

MamaBaby Haiti Birthing Center

MamaBaby Haiti is a fully operational birthing center in Northern Haiti. We provide FREE prenatal, birth, postpartum and newborn midwifery care including labs, ultrasounds, and a nutrition program for severely malnourished pregnant and nursing women. This model has been proven to reduce the maternal and neonatal mortality rates.

MamaBaby Haiti Midwifery School

At MamaBaby Haiti we believe midwives will reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates in Haiti. The majority of the world agrees. In September of 2016 we opened our midwifery school. Our first class graduated in June 2018. Most maternal and neonatal deaths are preventable.

To ensure universal coverage for maternity care an estimated 350,000 midwives are needed globally. An investment in midwives is key to ‘Reshaping the World’ and can save millions of lives every year.

MamaBaby Haiti Mobile Clinic

Every week we travel to remote locations to provide care for women who otherwise would get none. One of the mountain villages is a five hour walk from MamaBaby that women make when in labor. We go by boat and hike 90 minutes up a mountain trail to give them prenatal and postnatal care. Our mobile clinics also visit the inner city slums of Cap Haitien where at-risk women have difficulty getting access to care due to lack of financial resources.

MamaBaby Haiti Education

We teach mothers and families about prenatal health and nutrition, hygiene, childbirth education, breastfeeding education with the goal of exclusive breastfeeding for a minimum of one year, and family planning.
