Midwives @ the Edges’ mission is to:

• Network birth workers (expat and local) who are living at the edges, agencies who enable expats to live there, schools who train midwives equipped to work in low-resource settings, and other interested parties.

• Catalyze and support skilled midwives to live, be in relationship, work, and replicate at the edges.

• Equip local health systems by stepping up to the plate to train more skilled midwives and honor traditional birth attendants by teaching life-saving skills.

• Add to the evidence base regarding efficacy of midwifery care and work to establish best practices.

• Live, love, and enter into every culture as learners.
