Our Mission & Values
Because every movement needs a compass
Guided by hope, driven by action
Hawa’s Hope works to ensure no woman dies while giving life. Every action we take – whether training midwives, strengthening health systems, or sparking conversations—is driven by the belief that every mother and baby deserves a safe beginning.
