Empowering Midwives, Strengthening Communities

Welcome to Midwives for Midwives, a dedicated platform created to support and empower midwives worldwide. We are committed to fostering a strong network of midwifery professionals, providing resources, and advocating for the invaluable role midwives play in maternal and newborn care.

We are dedicated to equipping midwives with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to excel in their profession. By empowering midwives, we not only enhance their ability to provide compassionate and effective care but also strengthen the communities they serve.

Vision

When all women’s healthcare honors the innate intelligence of nature and is sustained through circles of collective wisdom, individuals WILL BE empowered and the world transformed.

Mission

MFM is a non-profit global collective of midwives working collaboratively to implement a replicable model of authentic midwifery care. “Authentic Midwifery” provides evidence based care and best practices, informed by the heart and soul of the midwifery model. MFM provides 24/7 women’s health care, offer training in midwifery, conduct research and share our outcomes in order to strengthen the midwifery model of care the world over.

We are committed to supporting midwives in providing exceptional care, fostering strong community connections, and advocating for equitable access to maternal health resources. These values reflect our dedication to uplifting midwives and transforming lives.

  • MFM believes in qualified midwifery care as a basic human right.
  • Intercultural collaboration between midwives from all backgrounds adds to collective wisdom.

Purpose

To empower and support midwives in their mission to provide compassionate, high-quality care. We aim to strengthen the midwifery community, advocate for maternal health equity, and celebrate the essential role midwives play in transforming lives and building healthier communities.

  • Use a collective model to effectively and sustainably run a birth and learning center (Ixmucané) providing safe, full-scope midwifery care.
  • Build capacity of local traditional midwives by meeting their identified needs.
  • Weave together professional midwifery and indigenous knowledge enabling a multicultural environment where traditional Guatemalan midwives and international midwives work and learn together.
