Last year mothers in a village in Malawi went to a meeting about preschool for their children. Lunch was donated but the women decided that next year they wanted to provide their own food. They approached the village chief and he gave them 2 acres to plant and with fifty dollars, they bought seeds and planted. Birthing Project monetary donations have provided more seeds for this sustainable agriculture project. Birthing Project USA is proud of these mothers who have taken their future into their own hands.

FORT WORTH - DALLAS BIRTHING PROJECT
It's been a very busy year for the Fort Worth/Dallas Birthing Project! We welcomed over 100 new healthy babies with almost 70% of our moms' breastfeeding!
Our SisterFriends and Auintie-Tias were always there to empower and educate our mommies. Our SisterFriends took on amazing challenges such as leading their little sisters back to school and into GED programs. A SisterFriend not only helped her little sister bring a healthy baby here but refused to leave her side as the little sister's mother lost a battle with cancer. Our Auntie-Tias worked tirelessly to educate women and their families. They even led several free childbirth education classes to reach as many families as possible.
With regard to our current economic environment, we are creatively meeting the needs of the women we serve. Our community contains the most amazing volunteers! In addition to hosting more fundraisers, we have brought on Sandra King as our Development Coordinator to assist in acquiring more funds. She has us in a grant writing frenzy! But in order for us to continue our efforts, we need not only your continued generous support but additional support this year.
Help us make a difference. Please DONATE NOW! Send your donations to:
