The DAI’s Hardship Fund

Birth and Postpartum Doulas firmly believe that every person or family who needs support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, should receive support. However, we understand hiring such support privately is not a viable option for many. In order to make these essential services more accessible, the DAI has developed the Hardship Fund, a programme for those interested in hiring a doula but who are unable to do so due to financial constraints. Client and doula apply together for the Hardship Fund, so if you feel you might benefit from this service, please contact a doula in your area directly and inquire about applying.

What Clients Say

“Once you meet Shelly you feel so at ease and immediately know that your emotional needs are in very good and caring hands. She builds you up so you know that you are powerful and can do this but equally catches you if you happen to have a wobble, refocusing you and carrying through right to the end! I would have been lost without her, completely lost!”

What Members Say

“I am honoured to currently help families often move from a place of anxiety and fear of childbirth to one of confidence and calm. If we can improve the ways expecting parents experience birth, ensuring they feel heard, respected and involved in their own care, I truly believe it impacts the early days of parenting, making them that much easier.”
