Why We Do What We Do:

WotW Foundation sees mothers as the backbone of society, deserving of comprehensive support as they embark on the journey into parenthood.

 

Enter the birthworker: whether a doula, a midwife, or a traditional birth attendant, this role, while seemingly cutting edge in today’s society, is deeply rooted in ancient practices.

 

Our mission is to rejuvenate this age-old wisdom, to ensure that both births and mothers are held in the highest esteem, and that the next generation is greeted with love and readiness.

 

Supporting a mother, in essence, supports the entire community ecosystem.

We are on a mission to improve maternal health outcomes globally by uplifting, educating, and connecting birthworkers.

Two Branches, Shared Roots

Wombs of the World Foundation is a complementary "sister branch" to our educational travel programs for professional birthworkers.
