Mother Health International (MHI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to respond and provide relief to pregnant women and children in areas of disaster, war and extreme economic poverty. We are committed to reducing maternal and infant mortality rates by creating culturally competent, sustainable and holistic birth centers using the midwifery model of care. We work alongside traditional midwives to create best practices that work towards our goals of access to comprehensive maternal health care, education and the facilitation of positive childbirth experiences. With every healthy birth there is a benefit for the communities that we serve and the world as a whole.
STATEMENT OF MERGE: Mother Health International and Earth Birth Women's Health Collective have formally merged into one 501c3 non-profit organization. The merger is intended to expand and enhance the services that each individual organization is able to offer and create an organizational structure that is a model for the international traditional midwifery model with respect for their position and systems of knowledge. We intend to support their work, offering tools and partnerships that will work towards our collective goal of safe birth for mothers and babies.
We currently have two running birth centers: Soley Lavi in Haiti and Ot Nywal Me Kuc in Northern Uganda. Soon Kassoumay in Kafountine, Senegal, will be up and running. Each is an amazing birth center that provides care to women in areas of the world where infant and maternal mortality is the highest.
We are a very small, very grassroots organization. We are looking for a grant writer who is able to work for a small initial fee and then take a larger salary once grants actually come in. Hours can be very flexible and work can be remote, from anywhere in the world. New and aspiring grant writers will absolutely be considered. Preference will be given to those with a passion for global maternal health and those with an understanding of midwifery and the midwives model of care.
