HUMANCULTURE

HUMANCULTURE

for WOMEN

Women are the primary caregivers of children and elders in every country of the world. International studies demonstrate that when the economy and politics of a society change, women lead the family in adjusting to new realities and challenges. By focusing on supporting women, our projects underpin stability for entire communities.

BIRTHING PRACTICES

BIRTHING PRACTICES

Access to ancestral knowledge about childbirth is increasingly rare in modern healthcare. Traditional practices and rituals are often replaced by standardized procedures. We partner with Rhode Island-based non-profit “Crescent Birth House” to learn from Indigenous midwives and preserve ancient wisdom surrounding home birth and motherhood. For the first time, these rich cultural traditions are being documented and shared to foster deeper connections with intentional birthing practices.
