Ep. 49 :: Kindness And Human Dignity First {With Jennifer Braun}

Jennifer Braun began to serve disadvantaged women and children in Afghanistan, Haiti, and now Uganda –– training midwives world-over since 2004.  She is the executive director of International Midwife Assistance (IMA), originally created by a group of women alarmed by the dismal state of maternal/child health in Afghanistan. They began with a mission in which every woman would have access to a qualified attendant and lifesaving resources throughout her pregnancy and birth. Once they completed their project in Afghanistan (an amazing feat!), IMA's work expanded to Haiti and Uganda with the intention of bringing equal access and health care to women all over the world.  This is an important episode with insider insights from Jennifer about the challenging state of Afghanistan and the women who live there.
