Women providing healing, promoting hope: Omaha Better Birth Project
For March’s Women’s History Month, we look to the 2022 theme designated by National Women’s History Alliance. This year’s theme is "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." Omaha Better Birth Project does just that.
Omaha Better Birth Project (OBBP) works to decrease inequities in childbirth by providing access to doula services, childbirth education, and prenatal & postpartum support for low-income and teen families in the Omaha area. OBBP shares that providing mothers with doulas and childbirth education classes are evidence-based practices that reduce the risk of a traumatic birth or birth complication and lead to better outcomes. However, the cost associated with childbirth education and doula services is often a significant barrier to low-income and teen families.
Donations Accepted Through March 31, 2022
Omaha Better Birth Project needs your help to stuff 50 diaper bags with new baby essentials!
OBBP is gearing up for their First Annual Community Baby Shower. This event is an opportunity to share some love and pamper several new and expectant Omaha moms and their little ones. You can help by picking up an item or two from their Amazon Wishlist to be shipped right to them or drop off items at one of the designated locations. From bottles to blankets and teethers to toys, there's something for every budget. Let's join together and set these families up for a great start!
