Non-Hispanic Black women in Philadelphia have experienced alarming disparities in maternal health outcomes, with pregnancy-related deaths significantly higher compared to their non-Hispanic White counterparts. Specifically, non-Hispanic Black women accounted for 73% of pregnancy-related deaths between 2013 and 2018, despite making up 43% of live births in the city.

Support Our LaborLiveLove program

Supporting A Home From Shana Foundation Means Supporting Your Community

Our core program is LaborLiveLove, which provides emergency and supportive housing for pregnant families. Through our programs, we strive to make a measurable difference in the lives of pregnant mothers and families in Philadelphia, reducing maternal mortality rates and improving overall birth outcomes. Our commitment to quality care and community support drives us to continually assess and enhance our services to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.

Our approach emphasizes holistic, community-centered care with a focus on improving maternal health and providing essential support services. We employ a team of trained doulas and educators, supported by mandatory accelerated doula training provided by our community partners and accredited organizations. 

When you support mothers, you support children and when you support the children you support the future.
