Who we are

Mission

To increase access to skilled maternity care in Haiti by training Haitian healthcare professionals and providing compassionate, culturally congruent care.

Values

We believe the strongest solutions come from listening first, working together, and equipping communities with the knowledge and support they need to thrive.

Midwives for Haiti was founded in 2006 in response to one of the greatest health challenges in the world: Maternal and neonatal death rates in Haiti are the highest in the Western Hemisphere, with a critical shortage of trained healthcare workers. 

In our early years, we focused on building a training program for Haitian healthcare workers in collaboration with local community leaders and other Haitian stakeholders.

Since then, we have grown into a Haitian-led organization that supports prenatal, delivery, postpartum, and community care across the Central Plateau and beyond. Our work centers the voices of Haitian women and families, and our programs are built through long-term partnership and deep local knowledge.
