Who can volunteer?

Midwives For Haiti students are trained by full-time in-country instructors. Each week we send professionally trained midwives who give their time and money to help precept Haitian women in midwifery skills. CNM’s, CPM’s, Ob/Gyn nurse practitioners, and labor & delivery nurses are the preferred volunteers.

Volunteers must have licensed medical credentials, flexibility and sensitivity to their role in a foreign culture. Motivated, self-directed individuals with medical experience in the developing world can be assets to the program in Hinche. You will learn as much as you teach and your life will never be the same.
