Super convenient way to donate to Midwives @ the Edges. Would you consider donating that $5 Venmo balance? 😉 and share the link - if you make it go viral and 4,000 people gave $5 each, that would fund the nonpneumatic antishock garment project we posted about recently! Imagine the number of mamas and babies and midwives’ lives we could impact!

Use Venmo to connect with Midwives at the Edges (-at-the-edges) - M@tE supports, teaches, and encourages midwives and other health workers in the places with the highest maternal and newborn mortality rates.

Have you heard of NASGs? The NASG (non-pneumatic anti-shock garment) is a first-aid tool used to stabilize women experiencing hypovolemic shock from postpartum hemorrhage. We're looking to get training and the device to many remote areas in the Middle East. Post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading direct cause of maternal deaths in low-resource settings. When available and properly used, an NASG can save women’s lives by reducing blood loss and stabilizing the women until treatment is available. This is a critical need for remote villages that are far from medical facilities. https://www.unicef.org/innovation/non-pneumatic-anti-shock-garment-nasg .

Partner with us to make this project reality https://donorbox.org/midwives-the-edges

Post-partum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal deaths. The NASG reduces blood loss keeping the mother alive until treatment is available.
