Today is International Day of the Midwife, and I love the fact that it falls every year right around Mother’s Day. We all know someone, maybe it’s even you, who has had their or their baby’s life saved by midwifery care. A happy Mother’s Day is only made possible by good maternal health care!
In the communities we serve, Senitizo’s midwife team also acts as our most powerful ambassadors. Developing trust with women during pregnancy translates to more women delivering in our health facilities, which then creates confidence to bring their child back to the clinic for their vaccines and when they get sick. This virtuous circle is essential to creating lasting, positive impact where we work, and it all starts with our midwife team.
Today at Senitizo, we’re celebrating our midwifes and midwife assistants and all midwifes around the world that work tirelessly to keep women and their babies healthy during pregnancy, during delivery, and in post-natal care! Thank you for what you do!

Our goal is to provide a continuum of care for our patients that have not had access to any medical care before Senitizo began its operations in the Central African Republic. Two of the three babies in this photo were some of the first babies born after our maternity opened. Here, their mothers have brought them back to the clinic to be treated for some of the common, but deadly, diseases they've since come down with (malaria, respiratory infections, bacterial/diarrheal diseases). Building trust with mothers during pregnancy, ensuring a safe birth, and providing health care to young families is at the core of Senitizo's mission. To date we've treated over 20,000 patients at the clinic since opening in 2021!
