Through this project, MamiCare provides parents with reliable prenatal education, in-home visits from skilled midwives, and practical tools such as hospital-grade breast pumps and evidence-based breastfeeding support. Most families in Albania lack access to clear guidance and hands-on help after birth. With your generosity, we can continue offering online and in-person prenatal classes, personalized breastfeeding assistance, and ongoing emotional support to new parents.
Old structures of support for mothers and babies are crumbling in Albania due to funding and policy changes, migration, and urban living. Many mothers find themselves quite alone after birth, lost in the sea of social media advice, and lacking the caring presence of the older generation or home visits the government used to provide.
Having funds will allow us to reach more mothers through our prenatal classes and lactation consults. We will hire a midwife to be able to teach our prenatal courses and provide home visits for postpartum mothers in Albania. We will use funds to create ads on various platforms and grow our social media audience so more moms find out about our services.
When you empower the mother, you empower the whole society. Breastfeeding is a proved strategy to reduce infant mortality. Helping women succeed with breastfeeding has an impact on the health of the whole society. Training an Albanian nurse to provide evidence based postpartum and breastfeeding support will influence the entire culture of birth in Albania. She will bring evidence based protocols to other Albanian medical professionals and mothers in a way that is culturally appropriate.
