“Thank you for being the most beautiful Sadiyah! your patience care and soothing voice is everything I needed in the unknown of birth. Thank you for your support during postpartum especially with breastfeeding. You are amazing”
Faeeza Barnabas
“...She guided my hands to show me methods...like how to hold the baby for her to latch onto me easily...Every expecting mum would be so blessed to have a doula like Sister Faeeza. I cannot recommend her enough. She truly is a gift...”
Support shouldn’t be optional after birth
Most mothers in South Africa navigate the first few weeks after birth with very little structured support. While family support is invaluable, it doesn’t replace trained, professional care for recovery, feeding, and newborn wellbeing in those critical early days.
In countries like Netherlands, Postpartum care is a standard part of healthcare. Research shows that early, hands-on support improves breastfeeding success and helps identify challenges before they become overwhelming.
Ubuntu Mama brings that same level of intentional, professional support to mothers in South Africa—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Train to become a certified Postpartum Care Provider
The PostPartum Academy South Africa offers in-depth, structured training — both theoretical and practical — to prepare you as a certified Postpartum Care Provider (PPCP). Once certified, you’ll be added to the Ubuntu Mama network, where you can opt in to be matched with families looking for care.
Benefits:
- Professional training
- Meaningful work supporting mothers
- Flexible income opportunities
- Free membership to the Ubuntu Mama community
