Go Midwife hasn't added a story.
In the island nation of Samoa there will be a meeting this summer to put into motion a training program for midwives and skilled birth attendants. These women will not simply be practitioners in the field but will be trainers with the ability to multiply the number of skilled birth attendants across the Pacific, Asia, and Africa. Having locally trained women who are familiar with the language, culture, and people groups of their own lands immediately gives them respect, authority, and the ability to work in areas where Westerners often have limited or no access. Imagine one midwifery trainer teaching a group of five women who in turn teach five women. Keep this cycle going and it is not long before an enormous impact can be tangibly felt across the developing world.
We are asking each of you to partner with us in this. We have the contacts and are already working across the Pacific to make this a reality. Here is how you get to be part of the story: if each of our friends joins us in pledging $20 towards this global midwifery campaign we will have the necessary funds to get the project started, funded, and moving forward. That is less than one penny for every 3,000 mothers and babies that do not survive the birth process in developing nations. We need your help to help conquer this problem once and for all. Together we can make a difference.
