AFGHANISTAN BIRTHING PROJECT

The work in Afghanistan is shepherded by Dr. Gladys’ brother, Carl Taylor, M.D., who is working through Future Generations with Afghani colleagues. The Foundation’s goal, in partnership with them, is to help improve the maternal mortality rate, which is currently higher than anywhere in the world.

The challenge is overcoming longtime cultural beliefs and practices that affect the safety and health of both mother and baby. Respectful of their culture and norms, we now have a group of more than thirty Afghani women who, within their villages, are teaching healthy practices for the well-being and safe delivery for mother and baby.

The Afghani people are strong, courageous and loving, in spite of the fact that their country has been at war for the last thirty years. We and they appreciate your prayers and donations to keep this important work alive.

These women are putting to use knowledge gained to create a safer lifestyle for each other and their families.
