MOMS’ People


Jitta Rogers Seisay, our gifted interpreter, has married Junior Seisay, our careful finance manager! Their wedding took place between Christmas and New Year’s Day, 2011. What a delightful celebration it was!

Our Staff:
We currently have no paid staff.

We work with local clinic staff and Traditional BIrth Attendants who are recognized as leaders in the villages where we work.

Our Volunteers:

  • Fund raisers: Host showers, info sessions, or other activities to benefit MOMS.
  • Publicity: Connect MOMS with newspapers, magazines, and television so publish stories about our work.
  • Researchers: What is the current evidence for various aspects of maternity care in developing countries? And what was that company that donates gloves to non-profits? Who else is working in Sierra Leone? What is the best way to ship a box of supplies? We need the answers to these questions.
  • Grant writers: Prepare applications for grants. This requires the ability to tell a compelling story, and it takes time. We need help!
  • Editors: As we write courses, newsletters, presentations, web sites, and other material, the support of talented and picky editors is invaluable.
  • Trainers: Teach women to be skilled birth attendants and how to work within their communities to improve life for their neighbors.
  • Members of the board: Help with setting strategy, making decisions, marketing, legal aspects, and other organizational needs.
