Our services also include KISSN - an abstinence program geared toward teens; Connections - a weekly parenting enrichment class; and HEART, a Bible study for women with an abortion decision in their past.

Their mission is to provide a safe place for Haitian women to receive compassionate and respectful maternity care. They are dedicated to improving the health and well being of the women and infants of Haiti, one woman and one child at a time. This vision is achieved through the application of evidence based midwifery care, delivered primarily by Haitian midwives and supported by volunteer midwives from around the world. Healthy women make for healthy families. Their goal is to offer services to women that will decrease their risk of dying from what should be a normal life event: pregnancy and birth. However, Haiti has the highest infant and maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. It is their core belief that no woman or child should ever die because of where they live.
