Arrow’s Improve Birth Campaign™ funds global projects and non-profits that work toward eliminating preventable maternal and infant mortality and improving the health of mothers + babies in the childbearing years.
Midwives for Haiti saves the lives of mothers and babies in Haiti by training skilled birth attendants and empowering women. They believe no woman or baby should die during pregnancy and birth. Currently, Haiti is the most dangerous place in the western hemisphere to give birth – but together, we can change that.

When a skilled birth attendant is present at the birth, most complications and deaths are preventable.
Currently, Midwives for Haiti graduates 20% of all Skilled Birth Attendants providing critical prenatal, birth and postpartum care in Haiti. They accomplish this by educating Haitian nurses in an 18-month rigorous training where they become skilled birth attendants upon completion. Midwives for Haiti supports St. Therese Hospital, runs several traveling weekly clinics, educates traditional birth attendants called Matwòns for extremely rural areas, and operates The Carrie Wortham Birth Center in the remote Haitian town of Cabestor.
