The lack of skilled obstetrical workers makes Haiti the most dangerous place in the Western Hemisphere to be pregnant, or a newborn. According to World Health Organization statistics, 350 women die for every 100,000 births. That rate in the US is 12.6 maternal deaths per 100,000 births.
In the rural areas of Haiti, only 25% of births are attended by someone with the training and supplies needed to make childbirth safe. MamaBaby Haiti has been working since 2009 to train midwives to be skilled birth attendants while simultaneously deliver up to 50 babies each month at the center!
In just 6 short months we will be traveling to Cap Haitien, Haiti and stay at the birth center with the midwives and student midwives. Throughout the days we will provide Prenatal Clinic to provide care to the many pregnant women, and work with students as they care for laboring and delivering mothers. The midwives on staff are Haitian women who have been trained with the organization to deliver babies. Most of these women have no access to prenatal care, or medications to aid with complications associated with pregnancy. These complications are easily treated with accessible medications and hospitals here in the US. Can you imagine being in fear through out your entire pregnancy? Not knowing if you or your baby will survive the delivery?
The cost of my travel, lodging, and food and supplies for the center will be roughly $8,000 for our group. If you find it in your heart to give, any amount would be greatly appreciated by our team, as well as the women we will be helping in Haiti; these two weeks I will recieve no compensation. Any extra funds I recieve will be used to purchase the much needed supplies for the program.
