Giving birth to a healthy child is one of the most exciting and exhilarating events in a woman’s life.  In Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries on the west coast of Africa, it is first and foremost treacherous.   Sierra Leone with limited access to prenatal care/modern obstetrical care and inadequate birthing resources has one of the highest rates of maternal/infant death and birthing complications in the world. 

Hawa’s Hope was established in 2018. We partner with birthing centers and midwifery schools in Sierra Leone to provide workshops and hands-on seminars to train modern skills and improve the expertise of midwifery students and experienced midwives.  Advancing skills to recognize and resolve birthing complications saves mothers and their babies.  The hands-on seminars we teach are transformational for the participants. Our goal is capacity building - teach and encourage spread of knowledge to help grow a stronger healthcare workforce for the rural and remote areas of the country.
