The Black Doulas of Columbia Collective is a non-profit organization here to nurture birthing families and center birth workers.

Nurturing Black Families

Our doulas will:

  • provide services at no cost to our families that qualify for our program

  • advocate, educate and provide resources needed for each family

  • support families continuously through pregnancy, birth and postpartum

  • look and experience life like you (culturally competent)

  • host and attend community events to provide education and resources

Centering Birth Workers

Our doulas will:

  • create spaces to connect, collaborate and build community

  • educate our community and medical providers about the benefits of birth workers

  • host events and professional development opportunities

  • amplify the work in the community and seek funding to make the workforce sustainable

  • mentor, train and meet birth workers needs so they can thrive in our communities

Our hope is that through our efforts we make Columbia, SC a safer place to birth for Black families.
