Every Two Minutes

Every two minutes, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. Many of these deaths are preventable. In low-resource settings, something as simple as a sterile blade, clean gloves, or soap can mean the difference between life and death. Our maternity kits fill this critical gap.

Impact-Driven Services

Together, we can create a future where every woman has access to a safe pregnancy and birth.

Obstetric Supplies

BeWelle distributes life-saving obstetric clinical supplies and birthing kits to health facilities and trained health professionals in under-resourced regions. These essential supplies improve the health and safety of a mother and her child.

Essential Maternity Kits

We work with local partners and community leaders to assemble and distribute maternity kits that include supplies needed for a safe delivery—whether at home, in a clinic, or on the road to a health facility. We ensure kits are both impactful and accessible.

Education & Training

We provide evidence-based, culturally informed training to midwives, traditional birth attendants, and frontline health workers. BeWelle strengthens local capacity in safe delivery practices, respectful maternity care, and emergency response.

Innovative Mobile Health Services

Using mobile technology, we bring maternal care directly to the doorstep. Our mHealth platforms provide pregnant women with appointment reminders, danger sign education, birth preparedness guidance, and access to skilled care through referral networks.

Community Engagement & Advocacy

BeWelle works hand-in-hand with local leaders to foster community-driven solutions and advocate for equitable health systems. By building local capacity we can help save more lives.

Volunteer Opportunities

We offer various volunteer opportunities to engage individuals passionate about maternal health. The need is great. Every hand counts.
