Overview
Mission
Since 1999, mmi board members have served as an advisory and fundraising board to acm (association of midwives of the mam speaking area). We have been working with this group of 40 maya midwives from the beginning of their organization which was formed to address issues specific to indigenous midwives and the communities they served. These midwives had previously worked with several international groups who offered training courses designed to increase midwifery skills and address the high maternal and infant mortality rates in the area. However, despite these training sessions, as elsewhere in the world, there had been little demonstrable improvement in outcomes. Furthermore, the midwives had no voice in the programs being offered. They decided to seek their own solutions. The model which developed was based on local control, long term commitment of n. American advisors, donors, and volunteers and constant re-evaluation of strategies.
What it reported doing in 2024
Maya midwifery support - funding the only medical facility in guatemala operated by indigenous maya mam midwives, improving maternal and child healthcare in the rural mam region of the country. In 2024, we... Attended 251 births provided 2,080 prenatal consults at the birth center provided another 1,390 prenatal consults in the rural mobile clinic communities donated over 42,000 prenatal vitamins donated over 1,400 pounds of nutritional supplements to pregnant mothers trained over 100 indigenous maya midwives in better birth practices donated over 50 birth kits to community midwives with items such as infrared thermometers, tape measures, disposable scrubs, face shields, eye goggles, shoe covers, gloves, etc. Donated additional items to community midwives, such as knitted hats (many from your group as well), socks, vitamins and supplements, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dental floss, etc.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
