The Global Doula Project was founded in 2022 with a mission to transform how people experience birth and death by making doula support affordable, accessible, and culturally relevant to families around the world. We believe that no one should have to navigate life’s most vulnerable transitions alone, and that compassionate, non-medical support during these moments is important for individual and collective health.

In an age where technology connects us yet leaves many feeling isolated, it’s more important than ever to center the experiences that make us human. Before social media or the internet, we relied on family and community to hold space for us during life’s transitions. Our bodies are tested in those moments, and that’s when we most need someone to support our whole selves, grounding us through change with advocacy, information, and compassionate care. That’s the role of a doula, and that’s why we’re bringing the village back.

What we do:
(1) Resource doula organizations through grants that help them grow their capacity and serve more families.
(2) Open doors for aspiring doulas through scholarships that reduce financial barriers and support promising, passionate caregivers as they begin their path.
(3) Elevate the work of doulas through public education that honors the value of non-medical, culturally grounded support and helps more people understand what doulas do.
(4) Connect doulas to training and to each other through shared tools like the Global Doula Training Directory.
