Preventive Maternal, Reproductive & Infant Health
Our flagship health initiative — ensuring that every mother and newborn in rural Liberia has access to the preventive care they deserve.
Healthy Mothers,
Healthy Communities
Maternal and infant health is the foundation of a thriving society. In rural Liberia, women face significant barriers to quality prenatal and postnatal care — leading to preventable complications, maternal mortality, and infant health challenges that no family should have to endure.
The Dr. Gwenigale Foundation believes that preventive care — not reactive treatment — is the key to transforming maternal health outcomes. By reaching women early, educating communities, and providing essential resources, we can save lives and build healthier futures for Liberian families.
Comprehensive Preventive Care
Prenatal & Postpartum Mental Health
Providing accessible prenatal and postpartum mental health consultation to mothers in rural Liberia — addressing the emotional and psychological dimensions of pregnancy and new motherhood.
Maternal Health Education
Delivering maternal health care and education directly to rural communities — empowering women with the knowledge and resources they need for safe pregnancies and healthy births.
Newborn Baby Kits
Distributing newborn baby kits that support maternal, newborn, and child health — providing essential supplies to families who may otherwise lack access to basic infant care resources.
Community Health Events
Organizing community public health events that promote preventive reproductive health care — bringing education, screenings, and resources directly to the women who need them most.
Rural Outreach
Reaching the most remote communities in Liberia through mobile health outreach — ensuring that geography is never a barrier to quality maternal and reproductive healthcare.
Community Partnerships
Building lasting partnerships with local health centers, community leaders, and organizations to create sustainable, community-owned maternal health infrastructure.
Traditional Midwives &
Community Doula Initiative
A visionary program to re-establish trusted traditional midwives and community doulas in rural Liberia — bridging ancestral wisdom with modern maternal healthcare systems.
Program Vision
For generations, traditional midwives and community doulas were the backbone of maternal care in rural Liberia. This initiative seeks to honor that legacy while integrating traditional birth attendants into modern healthcare systems — creating a network of trained, supported, and respected community birth workers who can serve women where they live.
By combining traditional knowledge with evidence-based practices, we aim to reduce maternal mortality, improve birth outcomes, and restore community trust in maternal healthcare.
Midwife Training
Structured training programs for traditional birth attendants integrating modern obstetric practices.
Doula Education
Community doula certification and ongoing education to support laboring mothers.
Maternal Support
Continuous support for mothers before, during, and after birth through community doulas.
