From April 18 to May 17, the Black Mamas Bail Fund is raising money to bring Black mothers in Delaware home. Too many are locked up simply because they can’t afford bail. Families are separated. Children are impacted. Communities are weakened.

Every dollar goes directly toward paying bail, challenging unfair systems, and making sure Black mothers are supported, seen, and free.

BMIP is also looking for volunteers to help make this possible. Whether you give, share, or show up, your action matters.

If you’re a Black mother in Delaware looking for a Doula, you should be able to find someone who gets you - your story, your needs, your family.

Our Doulas listen, advocate, and make sure you’re not facing the system alone.

You deserve to feel heard.

Black mothers should not have to struggle to meet basic needs alone.

Support should be steady, accessible, and rooted in care. That’s why we help connect Black mothers and families in Delaware with essentials like diapers, wipes, formula, food, and other everyday items that make life a little easier.

When our families are supported, our children are better able to grow, rest, and thrive.

National Physicians Week is a time to recognize the doctors who care for our communities every day.

For Black mothers and families, having access to doctors who listen, respect, and understand us makes a real difference in how we are treated and how we heal. Care should feel safe, supportive, and centered on our needs.

That’s why BMIP created a Resource Directory with Black physicians, therapists, and other providers in Delaware who are committed to serving our community well.
