MWHO MISSION & VISION
Our mission is to end the cycle of survival for mothers and families by addressing the root conditions that keep families in crisis.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where survival is no longer inherited. Where families are supported by systems designed for stability, where healing, safety, and opportunity replace crisis as the default, where parents lead their families and children are protected from being "parentified" by preventable instability.
OUR WHY
We believe survival mode is not a personal failure. It is a system condition created by prolonged instability, chronic stress, and fragmented support.
When families are given predictable safety, skills, and accountability, they can rewire out of survival and into sustainable wellbeing. Maternal World Health exists to prove — and build — that system.
Maternal Care..The MWHO WAY
Maternal World Health Organization delivers research-backed, community-led solutions that meet families where they are.
We focus on the critical space between survival and stability, where families are most vulnerable to system involvement, burnout, and intergenerational harm.
Our approach includes:
Immediate Crisis Support
We provide last-mile delivery of diapers, formula, groceries, and hygiene supplies directly to families’ homes and community locations, reducing stress, preventing crisis escalation, and protecting child wellbeing.
Community Baby Showers & Health Fairs
We host culturally responsive community gatherings that combine celebration with essentials, safety education, wellness services, and trusted resource connections.
Emergency Relief & Barrier Removal
We address urgent needs such as utility shutoffs, transportation barriers, and safety-related expenses that disproportionately push families into crisis and system involvement.
Resource Navigation & Wraparound Connection
We connect mothers to housing, mental health, workforce, and family support services, guiding them through each step, recognizing that access alone is not support.
Peer Support with Trauma-Informed Care
Mothers with lived experience provide peer support in a safe, understanding environment, fostering resilience, dignity, and long-term community connection.
Our Village in Action
OUR WORK, ACTUALLY WORKS
Become a Seed Sower
A Seed Sower is someone who believes in planting the small acts of love that grow into lasting change.
With your gift, you help provide immediate relief and long-term transformation for families facing crisis, transition, or healing.
Whether you give $5 or $500, your seed becomes food on a table, diapers for a newborn, therapy for a healing heart, or safety for a family finding home.
Your gift today sows the roots of tomorrow’s village.
Sponsor a Community Baby Shower
What it is:
A celebratory experience for expecting and new mothers, especially those impacted but incarceration, lack of support, financial hardship or housing instability. Includes gifts, education, emotional support, and a safe circle of community.
Why it matters:
Baby showers are about more than gifts—they symbolize belonging and hope. For many, this may be their only celebration of motherhood.
Meet Our Team
Britt Samuels | Founder & CEO
Britt Samuels founded Maternal World Health in 2023, to address the gaps in maternal care systems that force mothers into survival mode. As a child, Britt was parentified due to her mother’s lack of support which shaped her understanding of what happens when single parent's are left to navigate hardship alone.
After later navigating motherhood within fragmented systems herself, Britt founded Maternal World Health to build coordinated, dignified pathways of care that support long-term stability, not short-term crisis management. Brittany’s work is rooted in systems-building, advocacy, and community collaboration, with a focus on helping mothers move from survival to sustainability.
Her leadership is driven by lived experience, accountability, and a commitment to creating real solutions that work in practice—not just on paper.
