EQUIPMaternal
We Build the Village That Builds Families.
Every mother deserves support. EQUIPMaternal equips communities - churches, nonprofits, and volunteer networks, to care for pregnant and postpartum women through training, mentorship, and practical maternal care programs. Together, we empower women to uplift mothers and strengthen families.
The Gap in Care is Real.
Pregnancy and postpartum can be overwhelming, and many mothers lack the support they need. Studies show that community-backed maternal care improves outcomes for both moms and babies.
Medical providers are stretched thin. Churches want to help but lack the "how-to." Nonprofits see the need but lack the staff. That’s where we come in. Equip Maternal is a consultancy and training agency that helps organizations launch sustainable maternal support programs. We don't just provide care; we build the systems so your team can provide the care.
