Every 90 seconds a woman dies in childbirths somewhere in the world. 

With a population of 10 million, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. As a result, Haiti is the most dangerous country in the Western Hemisphere to give birth. Most of these maternal deaths are caused by eclampsia, sepsis, and postpartum hemorrhage (bleeding). In other words, most of these deaths are preventable.

In August of 2015, Nurse Timay began her journey to become a Skilled Birth Attendant/Midwife. Through generous supporters, Breath of Life Haiti has already paid half of the expenses for the course. Our Goal is to raise $2,452 by August 31, 2016 to finish paying the remaining amount owed.

All funds raised goes directly towards Nurse Timay's midwifery expenses. Nurse Timay will graduate in September of 2016. She will become the first community midwife in Desarmes, playing an essential role in our fight against maternal and infant mortality.

Thank you for helping us make an impact on the lives of women and children in Haiti!
