Welcome to MamaBaby Haiti
MamaBaby Haiti is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and well being of mothers and babies. Our mission is to lower the maternal, fetal, and neonatal mortality rate in Haiti.
MamaBaby Haiti is formed by a group of midwives and naturopathic doctors who serve women and families out of their birthing center and clinic in Haiti. They provide free prenatal, birth, postpartum, and pediatric care, in addition to education and other life saving services.
I knew it was an important event because the women in the kitchen killed six chickens for the lunch and offered to iron my clothes. We moved all the beds and slowly turned the postpartum room into a conference room,...

We staff and maintain a free standing birth center and health clinic in Northern Haiti near Cap Haitien. We serve as a safe and clean place for women and their families to come for free quality health care from midwives and naturopathic doctors. We provide prenatal, birth, postpartum, pediatric, and general health care, as well as education and other life saving services. We provide care 24/7. Women come to the clinic weekly for prenatal care and children and families show up for needed healthcare several times a week. We also go to surrounding villages to provide prenatal care and village healthcare for families. We teach mothers and families about prenatal health and nutrition, hygiene, childbirth education, breastfeeding education with the goal of exclusive breastfeeding for a minimum of one year, contraception methods, and sustainable living (including herbal health remedies and gardening). We have started a garden at our birth center that will be used as an example for gardening vegetables and medicinal herbs. We collaborate with Haitian midwives and midwifery students to reduce the maternal, fetal and neonatal mortality rate in Haiti. We feel we will all benefit from learning from each other and serving the women together in safe and gentle birth. We have Haitian midwives on staff and are working on training TBA's and more midwives. Besides providing health care, we work on village projects to improve sustainability and health for Haitian families. These projects include getting clean water to villages, and helping start village gardens and chicken coops. We are helping to better the lives of our Haitian brothers and sisters: one person, one village at a time. We are saving lives: one momma, one baby at a time.
