Meals for Mamas 🍽️
In Haiti, more than 37,000 pregnant women are severely food insecure, putting them and their babies at greater risk of illness and death.

Our Meals for Mamas initiative provides three nutritious, medically tailored meals each day during a mother’s stay at our maternal waiting home. That adds up to more than 11,000 meals this year. For many women, these are the most nourishing meals they will have during pregnancy, giving them strength for childbirth, the ability to begin breastfeeding, and the dignity of knowing they and their babies are valued.

✨ Thanks to doTERRA Healing Hands, every dollar you give through their fundraising page will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact and feeding twice as many mothers.

Today we remember Carrie Wortham, a compassionate soul and tireless advocate for women. Though she was taken from us ten years ago, her legacy continues to live on at the Carrie Wortham Birth Center, where her spirit of service still inspires us daily. A decade later, we feel her presence in the lives she continues to touch, and we will always miss her.

☀️Did you know? In Haiti, people with albinism face extreme sun exposure risks. A recent NIH study found that 29% of patients with albinism had non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), and 57% had precancerous lesions called actinic keratoses. Most were between 31–40 years old, showing how early and urgent sun protection is.

Thank you for your continued support Every Mother Counts! We couldn’t do it without you ❤️

Even as Haiti faces escalating violence, political unrest, and internal displacement, midwives are showing up to save lives.

One of our longest-standing grantee partners, Midwives for Haiti, continues to provide consistent, quality care in a country where maternal mortality remains the highest in the Western Hemisphere.

Midwives for Haiti has trained a generation of maternal health providers: today, their graduates make up over30% of skilled birth care providers in the country. And they continue to deliver care despite the collapse of the health care system in the country, serving as a bridge to those who need them most.

Meet Elane.

Elane experienced eclampsia during labor and an eclamptic seizure sent her into a 12-hour coma. Anemia delayed the emergency C-section she desperately needed. When she awoke, Elane developed postpartum psychosis.

Midwives for Haiti stood by Elane throughout this severe complication:

1️⃣They consulted with a perinatal mental health therapist and a neurologist to craft a care plan that was innovative and compassionate.

2️⃣They used simple, accessible tools, executed with a level of precision and dedication that defines cutting-edge midwifery.

3️⃣Two midwives monitored Elane’s progress around the clock. Her family were invited to stay with her, and received nourishing food, love, and emotional support.

4️⃣Her spiritual advisors led prayer that helped Elane feel grounded and seen.

After two weeks, Elane was healthy enough to return home with her newborn, equipped to handle motherhood surrounded by support and care. Her recovery was remarkable.

This story demonstrates the power of midwifery care and why we have made investments at the community level for 15 years–because every mother deserves quality care. 🧡

With ongoing support, partnership, and investment, positive maternal health outcomes are possible. Help us continue this work by supporting our Endurance Fund today - at the link in our bio. 🔗
