Why Midwives @ the Edges?

Midwives @ the Edges aims to network, catalyze, and equip midwives who are working at the “edges” – in places where maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity are the highest.

We are particularly interested in leveraging faith-based organizations to catalyze change and help moms and babies in least-developed places gain access to skilled midwifery care.

Midwives working at the edges are key to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals 3.1 and 3.2 and Midwives @ the Edges will sustain them – physically and spiritually so that they in turn are able to provide care that brings shalom — perfect peace and well-being.
