Midwives for Haiti

We are fighting maternal and infant mortality in Haiti. Join us.

Midwives For Haiti educates Haitian nurses to be skilled birth attendants and then empowers them to reach the women who need their care. By scaling health worker capacity within Haiti, we are reducing maternal and infant mortality and creating sustainable change for our graduates and the families they serve. Our 5 health programs are run by and for Haitians and supported by international medical volunteers and staff.

Because Love Should Always Be Heard. 💗

This Valentine’s Day, help us turn love into lifesaving care. Your support brings Dopplers into the hands of midwives, helping more mothers hear their baby’s first heartbeat and receive skilled care when it matters most.

How can you help?

Have an old Doppler you no longer use? Ship it to:
10106 Greenwood Ave N Apt 204
Seattle, WA 98133
and we’ll make sure it reaches a midwife who truly needs it.

Or, you can make a financial gift to support our Doppler Drive and help provide reassurance, early detection, and safer births for mothers and babies:

Thank you for sharing your love!💕

Young mothers face higher risks during pregnancy and childbirth, especially where access to skilled care is limited. In Haiti, many adolescent girls begin pregnancy while navigating poverty, food insecurity, insecurity related to violence, and long distances to health services. Delayed prenatal care and inconsistent support increase the risk of complications for both mother and baby. Adolescents are also more likely to experience conditions such as anemia and high blood pressure during pregnancy, making skilled care essential. At Midwives for Haiti, we work to bridge the gap between insecurity and skilled maternal care by training and supporting midwives who provide consistent, life saving care when it matters most.

Guess who surprised us?!
Head Midwife Miss Shedlene popped in, scrubs on, ready to work and of course ready to show off her little bundle of joy! I think we can all relate that sometimes you just need a break from maternity leave. We LOVE seeing you and that sweet baby!!🩷

Because one day wasn’t enough 🩷

Our monthly MFH Camp Clinic for IDP mothers just got bigger. We are now offering extra clinic days for mothers in their final month of pregnancy as well as for women with babies up to six weeks old, so they can get the care, support, and attention they need during this important time.

Huge shoutout to our amazing midwives who are with every mama every step of the way!

Are you interested in volunteering and learning more about Midwives for Haiti’s growing partnership in the Dominican Republic?

We’re excited to invite you to join Jane E. Drichta, PhD, CPM, DTN (Tropical Nursing), Executive Director of Midwives for Haiti, and Agatha Beck, CNM, Executive Director of , for an informational Zoom about our collaboration and upcoming volunteer opportunities.

This partnership supports Haitian migrants living in the Dominican Republic, first generation Haitian women, and the Dominican communities they call home. While we are not yet able to welcome volunteers back to Haiti, this work offers a hopeful and meaningful way to continue showing up for Haitian women, just across the border.

This volunteer information session is open to birth workers, including but not limited to midwives, MDs, DOs, doulas, and lactation consultants, who are interested in learning more and connecting with this work.
