About FAHM:

Foundation for Advancement of Haitian Midwives (FAHM) is a charitable 501(c)(3) and educational non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and aiding Haitian midwifery associations, education programs and midwifery students living in Haiti, where there are high rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

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 health care 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 living in Haiti!
