Fondo Semillas will support and accompany organizations that provide care and support to pregnant migrant women and their children, so that even in such difficult circumstances, migrant mothers can experience motherhood with love and care.
Women who migrate often escape violence and poverty in the hope of building a better life. Many go through this while pregnant or accompanied by their children. However, the journey they start is far from safe: they face new episodes of violence, discrimination, lack of access to health services, and xenophobia. Those who come from other countries also experience the barrier of language, cultural differences, as well as the lack of the most basic support systems, such as family and friends.
The organizations we support provide pregnancy and childbirth care to migrant women and accompany them as they begin their journey into motherhood. One of them has the "Babybus" project, which offers a safe space for reconnecting with their babies through play and love. They also provide art therapy workshops, entrepreneurship programs, and psychosocial support. This space also enables them to build a sense of community among themselves.
In 2024, only two organizations were able to help 4,100 mothers and their babies. We want to achieve those numbers again and more.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
