FOR EVERY FAMILY, A HEALTHY BABY.
FOR EVERY BABY,
A HEALTHY VILLAGE.
Uzazi Village is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the deconstruction of anti-Black healthcare systems and the re-construction of equitable and just systems of care for Black and Brown childbearing families and communities.
Our intentionally just and reparative ‘adjacent models of care’ work to restore health, vitality and joy to communities of color during the perinatal period. Through the marriage of ancestral knowing, creativity and innovation, we imagine and create systems of care that celebrate our ways of being and respect cultural and community wisdom.
WHO WE ARE
Through education, support, and advocacy, Uzazi Village works to improve perinatal health in the Kansas City community and around the country. We work every day to build a respectful and supportive adjacent healthcare system that fosters equitable and sustainable outcomes in maternal and infant health.
WHAT WE DO
Uzazi Village offers a free breastfeeding clinic, infant and maternity clothing from the Uzazi Boutique, empowered and informative childbirth education through our Sacred Birth Childbirth Education series, a group prenatal care clinic at the Ida Mae Patterson Center for Maternal and Infant Wellness, and facilitates transformative training to assist healthcare organizations to embrace anti-racist practice and culture.
