Community & motherhood We need each other
It Takes a Village
A reflection on community, motherhood and the shared responsibility of helping children and families thrive.
A community truth
Raising healthy, happy children requires more than one person’s strength.
Across many African cultures, the saying that “a child belongs to the community” reflects a practical tradition of shared care. Mothers were surrounded by midwives, sisters and other women through pregnancy, birth and postpartum, while babies were cared for collectively.
Today, that village can include family, friends, healthcare workers and other parents who offer encouragement, guidance and shared experience.
