Please consider parting with us to empower, educate and provide midwifery care to a woman and baby.
Breath of Life Haiti is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to empower the people of Haiti through education; while fighting maternal and infant mortality by providing midwifery care and sharing the love of Christ. We are raising money for our new birthing center in Dèsarmes, Haiti. The birth center will provide a safe place for mothers to give birth and recover while receiving care from our skilled midwives.
With a population of 10 million, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Due to geographic remoteness and socioeconomic status, many mothers in Haiti do not receive the care they require. In fact, only about 25% of births in Haiti are attended by a skilled provider. As a result, Haiti is the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere to give birth. Haiti also has the highest rates of infant and under-five mortality in the Western Hemisphere. Children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not.
A one-time amount of $110 helps us provide essential care to a woman and baby. Throughout the program women are learning about pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum care. Thank you for helping me make a difference!
