A midwifery classroom at Phebe Hospital - a faith based mission located in rural Bong County, Liberia. A midwife in Liberia can earn up to $200 USD a month working with international non-profit organizations. They play a pivotal role in the health of women and children, and receive approximately 500-600 women a month in their clinics. There is a serious shortage of doctors in the country, so midwives and nurses bear the brunt of a heavy case load.
