Shanti Uganda is a Canadian Charity and Ugandan NGO committed to reducing preventable maternal mortality throughout Uganda. Our solar powered Birth House is located in a remote community in Central Uganda and welcomes up to 30 babies every month. Using registered Ugandan midwives and Traditional Birth Attendants, we provide care to rural families including prenatal visits, STI testing, birth services, comprehensive postpartum care and well-baby check ups.
Our model is rooted in respectful, gentle, mother-centered care that leverages local knowledge and modern best practices to create a safe space where women who have traditionally birthed at home feel welcome. Our maternal mortality rate remains zero.
Shanti Uganda’s mission is to improve infant and maternal health, provide women-centered care and support the well-being of birthing mothers and women living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda. Our vision is a world where birthing mothers and women living with HIV/AIDS are supported, empowered and able to develop to their full potential. We value community participation, unity, sustainability and traditional knowledge.
