| The Fort
Worth/Dallas Birthing Project is a community based
volunteer
effort to help reduce the infant mortality rate in North Texas.
Our
mission is to encourage better birth outcomes for teenagers and
women
by providing practical support during pregnancy and for one year after
the birth of their children. Our SisterFriend Program does this by matching a community volunteers, "SisterFriends," with a high-risk pregnant woman or teen to provide her with emotional support. It is often referred to as the underground railroad of our times. Women who are “freed” to the point of functioning in our society are going back and leading other women to “freedom,” one on one. Our SisterFriend Program uses the model from Birthing Project USA. Our Aintie-Tia Program
is training 10 Aintie-Tias, using the Chicago Health
Connection's
Community-Based Doula model, to support African-American pregnant women
to welcome healthy
babies
to our community.
Please check out our wish list!!! And please help fund a Baby Bunch or Little Sister soon, we need your financial support. What does our president say about our success?  "Woosah!!!!" [ Home | Our Stories | Contribute | Corporate Opportunities | Contact Us ]
