I am pleased to share this update on the impact of your generous support. FAHM continues to provide capacity building for Haiti’s midwives so that they can provide equitable, high-quality health care in their communities and help stop violence against women.
FAHM is largely funded by philanthropy and uses gifts like yours to assist in promoting midwifery education and leadership, the midwifery profession and midwifery model of care, and providing community education and outreach. Hait’s midwives stand strong in combating gender-based violence.
Youth Education
Thanks for standing firm with Haiti’s midwives as they continue to tackle this issue through a comprehensive, holistic approach which supports girls’ rights and gender equality by providing sexual and reproductive education and health care to Haiti’s youth. In May alone, your help impacted 160 youth. They received interactive learning sessions on hygiene, nutrition, and early pregnancy prevention and gender-based violence.
Mobile Clinic
Your sponsorship helped reach 166 people in a very remote coastal area in the south region of Haiti. The midwives and their team were able to provide education and health screening (gender-based violence, family planning, sexual & reproductive health care, pregnancy, postpartum, newborn, and primary care).
All this would not be possible without you. Thank you. Your support continues to play a vital role in helping Haiti’s midwives in providing dignified, compassionate sexual and reproductive health care and education from birth through menopause.
The right to health care is a basic human right. Please help us to continue this important work. Here are ways you can help:
DONATE
Please consider a one-time donation or becoming a FAHM IMPACT PARTNER (monthly donor). Your strong and steady monthly support will empower midwives in doing what they do best: keeping birth and reproductive services safe, respectful and accessible. Your generous and reliable monthly gifts will enable us to both plan for the long term and quickly respond when unexpected crises arise.
