Jennifer Houston is the director of Midwives for Midwives whose work is to support and strengthen midwifery in Guatemala through training and intercultural exchange. She and several other dedicated activists and midwives started the clinic in Antigua Guatemala in 1997 offering women full scope midwifery care. The organization continues to train midwives in Guatemala. Additionally, they offer the opportunity to place students to live and work with a traditional indigenous Guatemalan midwife.
