Indigenous Midwives Training Program
Training Program: In poor regions where access to state health services is limited, Indigenous midwives often provide essential maternal & child healthcare. GPA provides these health workers with training in evidence-based pediatric primary care, prenatal care, birth techniques & management, recognition of risk factors, danger signs, newborn care & a protocol for emergency-care response. In 2022, we worked with more than 400 midwives and health promoters in Mexico & Guatemala, and provided 40 traditional midwives with leadership skills. We trained 95 Indigenous youth to advocate for the health needs of their communities, such as preventing child marriage and violence, and we trained 244 medical staff to provide culturally respectful care for Mayan women. Our programs benefitted more than 100,000 people.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$241.8KSmall Grants Program for Maternal Health
