The Birth Experience Reclaimed After War

Earth Birth is an organization co-founded by an acquaintance of mine, Rachel Zaslow, which assists women in war torn Uganda in having safe and humane birth experiences.

What is particularly special about the Earth Birth is it’s grass roots approach, which is very practical and not at all pretentious.

Earth Birth is an NGO run by midwives to foster an international women’s health movement that encourages and promotes safe and peaceful birth as an act of social justice and community healing. We offer a holistic approach to women’s health care that is both community centered and internationally connected. We build clinics and community centers and offer trainings for Traditional Birth Attendants and Educators. Our goals include community sustainability, lowered maternal and infant mortality rates, lowered mother to child HIV transmission, access to supplies, access to trauma counseling, the ability to articulate ones story and the facilitation of positive and empowered childbirth experiences.

Earth Birth is an NGO that is fully funded by donations and has partnered with Lovemore in order to reach it’s goals. Lovemore is the brain child of two sisters who simply ask us all to “to spark a change in the way we think, inspiring each and every one of us to bring more love, peace, and joy into our day-to-day lives.” When you purchase any Lovemore product a portion of the proceeds goes to Earth-Birth.
