Our mission is to provide affordable, accessible and respectful maternity care for the women, children, and families of Haiti.
The birth center is completed and the GCBC staff is now providing a full range of maternal services.
Baby Darwin - Grace’s first baby is now 6 months old and has been exclusively breastfed. So proud of his mama!
Baby boy Edd Samy born on his daddy's birthday! I love that we get to offer a "family bed"... A queen bed where dad, mom and baby can bond together. This is beyond a luxury compared to any birthing options I know of in Haiti. The fact that the father/partner can be with the mama during labour and stay afterwards is truly unique. This is just one way Grace supports the family bond.
A big thank you to @haitihealthnetwork and @directrelief for supplying us with these much needed midwifery kits, full of supplies that we needed to restock!

This hefty baby boy was just born this morning into loving hands. Weighing in at 7lbs 14oz... A very good weight for this full term baby. Look at that strong grasp on his mama's breast, clinging to life, his source, his whole world.
