Dear supporters,
Thank you so much for your generous support of the African Birth Collective's project to make "A Book for Midwives" available to communities in West Africa, in French for West Africa.
We will be wrapping up the campaign at the end of September, and sending the funds that have been raised to the African Birth Collective, so that they can begin printing books! As of now, the $311 raised by this campaign will print 30 books that will help midwives in Senegal train new midwives, blend their traditional practices with Western medicine, and problem-solve when they are far from health systems.
The African Birth Collective is continuing to work on building new support systems for midwives, including the Kassoumay Traditional Birth House, which has started caring for mothers and newborns.
Thank you again for your generosity, and for helping us to spread the word. If you know anyone who would be interested in this project, please do let them know. We look forward to reporting more soon!
Sincerely,
Lizzie
