Mazal tov! A new baby is born, and its family and community celebrates. But along with the joy, comes exhaustion. Along with the celebration, is a new mother who is weak and vulnerable. That’s why Jewish communities have always tended to new mothers, and helped them in every possible way.

But in recent times, the traditional support system is gone. Mothers are discharged from the hospital as shortly as twenty four hours after childbirth, with limited resources. Women are expected to bounce back to normalcy almost immediately. Most women can expect little or no help from family and friends.

Families suffer. Women fall apart. And the incidence of postpartum depression rises, causing great harm.

Kimpatorin Aid helps postpartum women and their families – and ensures that they are physically and emotionally ready to meet the demands of their new baby.
