About FAHM:

A woman in Haiti is almost 20 times more likely to die in childbirth than a woman in the US, and 3% of newborns die in their first 28 days.

Midwives who are educated and regulated to international standards can provide 87% of the essential care needed for women and newborns, and are considered a best buy in primary care health care in Haiti.

Much of Haiti's already humble midwifery education infrastructure was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake; countless practicing midwives and students perished and the school itself was destroyed. Join us in our continuing efforts to restore these losses and advance the midwifery profession in Haiti.

Investing in midwifery education with deployment to community-based services is estimated to yield a 16-fold return, in terms of lives saved.

Join us on this mission to educate and graduate more Haitian midwives!
