Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to significantly reduce maternal and infant mortality rates and improve health for mothers and babies in impoverished communities in Haiti. Formerly Maison de Naissance, a maternal and infant health center in rural Torbeck, Haiti, the Global Birthing Home Foundation provides a modern maternal health center with high quality medical care in a welcoming and culturally appropriate environment coupled with ongoing community oriented support.
The Global Birthing Home Foundation (GBHF) operates in Haiti as a non-governmental organization, under the auspices of the Episcopal Diocese of Haiti. Maison de Naissance ("Home of Birth") is a modern, culturally appropriate maternal center in Torbeck, Haiti, and is sponsored by GBHF, which shares local oversight of the birth center's operations and is responsible for fundraising. Our guiding principles include high-quality maternal and infant healthcare, including prenatal, delivery, postnatal, well baby, and reproductive health care, family planning, HIV/AIDS testing and treatment, and community health outreach; all provided with respect, available 24×7, accessible to all, culturally appropriate, no financial barriers, and with personal relationships to families in our zone of service. We support indigenous management, with local staffing, and programs for professional development. We encourage innovative and efficient use of technology, including electronic medical records, telemedicine through IM and internet, and specially designed assessment tools. We promote community empowerment, moving toward self-sufficiency by 2024, including population surveys, community health education, house calls, collaboration with community and government bodies, partnerships with other mission related agencies, and economic development programs to improve our families' incomes and food security. In 2019 the GBHF provided 31,858 women's reproductive health visits, 6,632 prenatal consultations, and 2,384 well baby care visits.
