Meet Paula: A compassionate and courageous midwife

From watching her grandmother deliver babies to delivering them herself in a refugee camp as a registered midwife, Paula’s seen—and felt—it all.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our donors, Paula can continue providing essential healthcare to vulnerable expectant and new mothers, and their babies, despite the camp’s harsh conditions.

Here are the highlights from Paula's video.
