"If we don't do this, who will?" -Nadene Brunk, Founder After traveling to Haiti in 2003 as part of a medical team, Nadene Brunk, CNM, witnessed first hand the lack of resources and skilled care for pregnant women. Determined to provide a long term solution, Nadene formed a small team of volunteer midwives and medical professionals and soon returned to Haiti. At the request of a Haitian community leader, she established a culturally appropriate training program for Haitian nurses in Hinche. With few resources, the first class of nine students would hold class outdoors with nothing more than a black board under a tree. Equipment was donated because there wasn't enough money to buy new materials. Nadene and other volunteers traveled in a pickup truck that was held together by wire and duct tape. Midwives For Haiti became a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 2006.
