Giving most needed support to women during childbirth in underfunded public hospitals; assisting with our childbirth education classes and/or assisting our training program for health care providers. Make a difference with us! We appreciate volunteers; in both rural and urban areas; for students and professionals in women’s health and medicine and other fields including midwifery; doulas; nursing; public health; childbirth education; social work; therapy; psychology; community; advocacy; fundraising; office work; public relations; and website maintenance. Anyone with a true interest in improving maternal and newborn health care will be welcome. Volunteering with us provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about maternal health care in a low income country; while empowering women and their families.
