Our Work

BIRTHING CENTERS

MamaBaby Haiti runs two fully operational birthing centers in  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.

MIDWIFERY SCHOOL

Mama Baby Haiti Graduates

In it’s two-year program, MamaBaby trains Haitian nurses to become midwives. Since our schools inception in 2016, we’ve graduated 26 midwives who will save the lives of women in their communities or work at MamaBaby birth centers!

In 2024 the World Health Organization specifically stated that investing in midwifery care represents a cost-effective and urgently needed solution to save and improve the lives of women and newborns globally.

Our mobile clinics also visit the inner city of Cap Haitien where at-risk women have difficulty getting access to care due to lack of financial resources.

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.

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.
