Real Stories of Impact
Your Donation at Work
"Time passed so quickly... Thank you to Mujeres Aliadas, the midwives, the students, and all the women and their families who gave me the opportunity to learn—thank you for sharing with me! It was a month full of experiences and learning. This time will enrich both my midwifery career and my personal life. I am very grateful for the opportunity to make this journey to Michoacán to learn and work with both professional and traditional midwives. It was a pleasure to be with you all. I will be back!"- Arva-Lea Kowalke
Volunteer in our Clinic
"After six months of continuous bleeding due to fibroids and undergoing treatment with a gynecologist who insisted that removing my uterus was the only solution, I was fortunate to find Mujeres Aliadas, a beautiful and peaceful place where I was treated with love and respect. Midwife Elena provided me with a treatment that controlled the bleeding within just one week. After three months of care with the midwives at Mujeres Aliadas, my gynecologist confirmed that the fibroids had significantly reduced in size, and I was able to keep my uterus. Now, I have brought my teenage daughter to a comprehensive sexual education workshop because I firmly believe in the professional and dedicated work of Mujeres Aliadas. Thank you, and blessings!"- Susana Lariza Ruiz Rojas
Patient at Mujeres Aliadas Clinic
"I am so grateful to Mujeres Aliadas because, without their support, it would not have been possible for me to complete my social service. It was a unique experience—I was able to see the reality of our healthcare system and the importance of midwifery. Now, more than ever, I want to work for women, to help them have a different story—one that is dignified and worth remembering. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart to every person who made this possible!"- Abigail Sosa
