Midwives for Haiti We increase access to skilled maternity care in Haiti by training Haitian healthcare professionals and providing compassionate, culturally congruent care.

Midwives For Haiti educates Haitian nurses to be skilled birth attendants and then empowers them to reach the women who need their care. By scaling health worker capacity within Haiti, we are reducing maternal and infant mortality and creating sustainable change for our graduates and the families they serve. Our 5 health programs are run by and for Haitians and supported by international medical volunteers and staff.

One of the ongoing challenges in cervical cancer prevention in Haiti is ensuring women return for follow-up treatment after testing positive for high-risk HPV.

During our most recent Rhoday outreach at St. Vincent de Paul Church, 68 women were screened, and 39 tested positive, resulting in a positivity rate of 57.4%. Today, we were happy to welcome 27 of those women back for treatment!

This is what it looks like when the system works. Women are screened, connected to follow-up care, and able to receive the treatment they need.

How many hands does it take to feed a newborn? In Emmanuel’s case, 4! 🤍

Emmanuel was born with clefts affecting his upper lip, gum ridge, and hard palate, making something as basic as feeding a real challenge.

Normally, a baby seals their lips and presses their tongue against the firm roof of the mouth to create suction. For Emmanuel, it’s a little like trying to drink through a straw with a split down the side. He was hungry and trying to suck, but he simply couldn’t get enough milk.

That’s where our Midwives for Haiti team stepped in.

Using a finger-and-syringe feeding technique, our midwives are able to give Emmanuel the support he needs to safely take in milk. It takes patience, careful timing, and, as you can see, a few extra hands!

The team also consulted with an IBCLC in the United States, who reached out to an experienced colleague in Italy for additional guidance. This little guy officially has people around the world looking out for him.

And it’s working. Since Friday, Emmanuel has gained 200 grams!

Things are looking up for this hungry little gentleman

Once a month, we take Li Viv beyond our clinic walls and directly into the community.

This past Friday, our team visited Koka Catholic Church and School, where 69 more women received HPV screening.

Since launching Li Viv, we have now screened more than 1,200 women, and over 42% have tested positive for high-risk HPV, compared with approximately 15% of women in the United States.

HPV often has no symptoms, which makes access to screening so important. For many women, knowing their HPV status is the first step toward identifying their risk and preventing cervical cancer.

And perhaps the women we met at Koka said it best. When we asked for their thoughts after their screenings, they shared:

“Continue this work so more women can benefit by God’s hand. Go everywhere so you save more women.”

“Find a way to screen more women, because there are many who are sick and don’t know it.”

“Keep the will to go on providing the service.”

Their words are a powerful reminder of why we keep bringing Li Viv into communities and why there are still so many women left to reach.

Sometimes, caring for our high risk mothers at Kay Manman Yo means making sure that care follows them wherever they need to be. 💗

When one of our mothers needs to return to the hospital for additional care, staying consistent with her nutrition still matters.

Our team makes sure her meals from Kay Manman Yo don’t stop. We pack them up and hand deliver them right to the hospital, helping ensure she continues receiving the nutritious meals she needs during a high risk pregnancy.

While we were there, our team also checked in on a few high risk mothers currently in the hospital who we know will soon be coming to stay with us at Kay Manman Yo.

Whether a mother is already staying with us or preparing to join us, our goal is the same: making sure she feels cared for, supported, and well nourished every step of the way.
