This fundraiser is important for Black Mothers In Power to continue to empower Black mothers and their families to thrive during pregnancy and postpartum. More funding will help us:
- Increase the number of Black Midwives
- Increase the number of Black Lactation Professionals
- Increase the number of Black Doulas
Having more Black Birthworkers will help address the Black maternal health care disparity; where Black women are three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as white women, with a maternal mortality rate of 43.5 deaths per 100,000 live births.
