Sustainability
Too many humanitarian organizations rely heavily on foreign aid and when the money dries up, the programs end. We are committed to local leadership, renewable resources and clinics that sustain themselves financially.
Women do not need to pay to receive services at the Earth Birth Centers, but rather, they must involve themselves in a project that sustains it. Women sign up for projects that interest them and volunteer their time in exchange for care.
Women can choose to work in our baby food gardens. The food that is grown there goes back to the women and the excess is sold in the market to pay for supplies at the clinic. Other projects are the sewing of Moon Pads (reusable cloth pads to be sold locally and internationally), baby slings out of local and bright ‘ketenge’ or cloth, maternity and baby clothing, local crafts and jewelry.
