Midwives For Haiti

Midwives For Haiti offers education and training in prenatal care and skilled birth assistance to Haitian nurses, so that they may better serve their fellow Haitian sisters, who too frequently are lost or lose their newborns in childbirth without such care. Each year, we host an 11-month course taught and precepted by four Haitian midwives, who are assisted by volunteer midwives from North America and Europe. The earthquake in January 2010 devastated parts of this beloved country and her people. This great loss in qualified medical professionals and infrastructure has made the work of Midwives For Haiti even more necessary.
