The Maasai Women Health Organization (MWHO) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Maasai women and their families by addressing critical challenges in maternal and neonatal healthcare. We focus on educating communities about the risks of home deliveries and the importance of seeking skilled medical care during childbirth. Through community outreach programs, we empower women with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions about their health. MWHO emphasizes cultural sensitivity while introducing modern healthcare practices, ensuring a holistic approach that respects traditional values while prioritizing safety and well-being.

A cornerstone of our work is collaborating with Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs), who hold a vital role in Maasai communities. MWHO provides TBAs with training in hygiene, sterilization, and recognizing complications during childbirth, enabling them to act as advocates for safe pregnancy and delivery practices. By bridging the gap between traditional methods and modern medicine, we foster partnerships between TBAs, families, and healthcare providers, ensuring that women receive comprehensive and culturally respectful care. Our mission is to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates while building healthier, more empowered communities.
