SPONSOR MIDWIVES SALARIES IN HAITI
“The single most critical intervention to ensure safe motherhood is skilled assistance at all births.” -UNFPA
Claudie Exume was a graduate of our 4th class and has been working at Hospital St. Therese since February of 2012. Mother of three children, she says: “I thought if I went into women’s health I could help my community. I first looked at the school in Port-au-Prince, but their enrollment for the year was already over. Then I heard about Midwives for Haiti.”
Salnave Pierre: Father of three (ages 18, 17, and 13), graduate of MFH Class 5, and Skilled Birth Attendant at Ste. Therese Hospital. He says, “I like to work nights in maternity- there is more of a need, there are many more women giving birth at night…. I know that I’m making a difference in the lives of my patients because many people come to the hospital and ask for me.”
Carline Jean-Giles: Mother of four (ages 21, 18, 13, and 7), graduate of MFH Class 3, and Skilled Birth Attendant at Ste. Therese Hospital. She says, “At Ste. Therese Hospital we have patients from very rural parts of the country. I’m glad that I get to work with people from rural places because they have fewer chances to get care or have access to care elsewhere.”
Guilet Enelus: Orginially from Leogane (the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake), Guilet graduated from our 6th class and began working at Hospital Ste. Therese in August 2015.
