OUR MISSION

BCCC logo

Our mission is to cultivate community healing through multilingual doula care, education, pregnancy support, and ancestral practices with respect for culture, race, immigration status, religion, gender, and beliefs. Low-income and immigrant families face challenges beyond pregnancy and we provide no-cost doula services, parent education, material donations, and food distribution for new parents and families. We are changing the system by training Doulas from the community they serve, bringing in cultural practices, understanding, and a career path that benefits their families and communities.

Doulas BCCC

OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

To transform the birthing experience for all pregnancies through birth, postpartum doula care, and advocacy.

HOW THE DOULA MODEL BEGAN

 

We started as a small non-profit of 3 Latinx doulas culturally connected to the traditions of Guatemala, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Columbia and Nicaragua with a commitment to serving our community. Since then, it has expanded to 50+ Doulas and counting as we all work together to support human life.

Today we pave the way by bringing diverse options for all mothers and Birth Workers in the Bay Area and beyond. We lead this community with our hearts and uplift human life by supporting mothers with the solidarity needed to face life-changing circumstances.
