Our Vision
Healthy Mamas. Healthy Babies. Healthy Communities.

Our Mission
Mamatoto Village is devoted to serving Black women through the creation of career pathways in maternal health; and providing accessible perinatal support services designed to equip women with the necessary tools to make the most informed decisions in their maternity care, parenting, and lives.

Our Beliefs
By offering creative solutions to combating racism and health disparities for Black mothers, babies, and their families, Mamatoto Village’s innovative approach fosters a space for resistance, restoration, and reclamation fueled by Black women’s collective dreams of a more just world to live, love, birth, raise children, and sustain our families.
We believe that the right to health and self-preservation according to one’s own will is a fundamental right; therefore, if women lack access to the information, resources, autonomy, and safety they need to preserve their lives; the lives of their children; and long-term interests, then it is a violation of their human rights.
Mamatoto Village is dedicated to acting towards the cause of justice and liberation in the highest capacity possible. Additionally, we believe that Black women can be strengthened by one another giving rise to a more radical, collective, and supportive environment for wellness and thriving.
