As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women and mothers of newborn babies are unable to access safe, supported maternity care.
Hospitals are under strain. Hospital facilities are at high risk of being contaminated with COVID-19 as a significant but unknown percentage of carriers are asymptomatic. Attempts to reduce the risk of exposure have resulted in a lack of support for birthing women, and created a crisis in birth.
We are fundraising to make alternative birthing locations available all around the country to ensure safe, positive and supported births, while the medical and specifically the maternal health care services are under strain due to C-19.
We are working to support the best outcomes for all birthing mothers and newborns, reducing the risk of transmission of C-19 and cultivate best mother/baby bonding and health outcomes.
Our mission: to support mothers, babies and their family in pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period during a time of uncertainty and crisis.
