Purpose: To raise $25,000

We will purchase 30 MamaNatalie birthing simulators. Through Laerdal Medical’s Buy One – Gift One program, for each MamaNatalie purchased for use in Mississippi, an additional MamaNatalie is being donated for use in Haiti. These will be used to train and equip professionals so that women and babies have a safe delivery.  We will send:

• 30 to Haiti for training midwives
• 30 to Mississippi EMS, rural hospitals, police, etc.

MamaNatalie birthing simulator that comes with NeoNatalie helps create realistic training scenarios.
