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

at Hospital Ste. Therese.


They are providing care to women and babies after delivery.


In three months they’ve provided postnatal care to 65% of all deliveries, or

894women and babies.


Illa, Juslene, and the moms and babies at Hospital Ste. Therese need your help.
