We are particularly interested in leveraging faith-based organizations to catalyze change and help moms and babies in least-developed places gain access to skilled midwifery care. In our first full year of operation, Midwives @ the Edges continued to grow our network of midwives, hosted a mini-conference, released the Midwives Mobile Stats app, and implemented projects in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Peru. Below are summaries of each of these activitiesNetwork growth: Our network of midwives and other birth workers now includes over 150 people. In 2025, we hosted quarterly network calls with over 100 participants. We also started hosting quarterly peer reviews for midwives living overseas and currently have 18 participants enrolled. Conferences: Our long-term goal is to host at least 2 free conferences per year. In 2025, Midwives @ the Edges hosted a free 3-day conference open to local birth workers in Iraq. 15 doulas and midwives attended and improved their skills in neonatal resuscitation and knowledge of best practices related to caring for women in labor and birth. MIDWIVES @ THE EDGES PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS 2025 Midwife Mobile Stats app: In January 2025, Midwives @ the Edges released a free app that can be used by midwives globally to track their personal birth statistics. To date, there are over 100 users. In Afghanistan, Midwives @ the Edges trained community health workers in Essential Newborn Care 1 (Helping Babies Breathe) and Helping Mothers Survive Bleeding after Birth. While in-country, we also worked with the Cure Hospital to train their staff in the same skills. In total, we trained 186 individuals, 41 of whom will receive follow-up mentoring to prepare them to train on their own. Moving forward, we have been invited to continue partnering with the Cure Hospital and other on-the-ground organizations and work together to impact maternal and newborn health in Afghanistan. We did overrun our estimated budget of $12,245 by $3,180 (for a total cost of $15,425) due to underestimated travel, in-country, and translation costs. In Iraq, Midwives @ the Edges came alongside an expat midwife who lives long-term in Kurdistan to help her implement a training program in her region. We were instrumental in helping her get the Memorandums of Understanding with the local departments of health and supported her in bringing a team of midwives from Australia and the US to Iraq to deliver three weeks of Essential Newborn Care 1 and Essential Care for Labor and Birth to staff from 4 hospitals in 3 locations. In total, we trained 203 people. Overall, the project was successful and has opened the door for the midwife to have a deeper impact in her communities. The project was delivered on time and met all goals but was over budget. The cost of the project exceeded incoming designated donations by 100%, which was covered by M@tEs unrestricted fund. Midwives @ the Edges completed an exploratory trip to Peru in response to indigenous leaders requests for maternal and newborn health training. We delivered maternal and newborn health trainings for 33 community health workers from 6 tribes in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. While M@tE was able to provide groundwork for improving community health workers ability to address maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality in their context, it is our recommendation that the traditional birth attendants and midwives from their communities be included in any future trainings. This will result in the opportunity for community-wide transformation and a greater impact of targeted training that addresses their needs and knowledge gaps. This project was completed on time, exceeded expectations. 88168 88168 CARRIE BLAKE Pres. and Treas 40.00 18750 TAMY ROLOFF Chaiperson 1.00 0 colleen donavan - baston Director 1.00 0 kevin caldwell Director 2.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false NM Carrie Blake 35 Willow Back Road Santa Fe NM 87508 9704815034 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 48451 119687 168138 0 0 48451 119687 168138 0 168138 0 0 0 168138 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $1254 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1613 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $21941 Other Expenses.1007 Conferences, Conventions, and Meetings $5370 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $171 Other Expenses.1 training supplies $22870 Other Expenses.2 CONTRACT SERVICE $12250 Other Expenses.3 translation expense $6680 Other Expenses.4 BANK CHARGES $1725 Other Expenses.5 meals and entertianment $719 Other Expenses.6 OUTSIDE SERVICE $342 Other Expenses.7 fundraising expense $75 Other Expenses.8 dues and subscriptions $21 Other Expenses.9 TAX & LICENSES $5
