Birth Attendant

Giving birth while living in poverty can be risky, especially when there are no professionals to help. Ekkachai, director of a Compassion center in Thailand, noticed that in his village, many women and babies were dying during labor or shortly after birth. So, prior to becoming a center director, he trained to become a birth attendant. Today, with the help of generous friends like you, he is present at many births in his community. He has also trained the Survival Program staff at his center to handle deliveries. Thanks to Ekkachai, more moms and babies are getting to and through birth safely. Your gift of a Birth Attendant provides security and hope to mothers and babies — thank you!
