Alabama Doula Scholarships

Project Say Something recognizes Doulas as one solution to address medical racism in the birthing process. Our doula programming is targeted towards Black women and birth-giving individuals, who have largely been neglected by the state and have long suffered as a result of policies driven by racism and misogynoir. We advocate for a vision of systemic change that prioritizes Black girls, women, and trans women through a system of support that fosters acceptance, sufficient resources for their children, and a nurturing environment for their families to thrive.

Doulas spend up to eleven times longer with the pregnant person than traditional clinicians. In addition to providing emotional support, Doulas can also serve to mediate the racial disparities present in the healthcare system. Our goal is to usher in a new era of reproductive health and take tangible steps toward a community in which Black women and families have access to the resources they need. By offering doula training scholarships to people in Alabama seeking to become certified doulas, Project Say Something hopes to create tangible, real-time efforts to lower maternal mortality rates and improve reproductive health.
This scholarship fund is specifically for persons wanting to become a licensed Doula in the state of Alabama with emphasis on Lauderdale & Colbert county.
