Providing postpartum essentials, emotional care, spiritual support, and financial empowerment for mothers after childbirth and for women healing after the loss of a baby or young child.
Supporting Mothers Through Postpartum Recovery and/or Loss
REST FOUNDATION
Many mothers leave the hospital with more responsibility than support.
Some are recovering physically while silently battling emotional stress.
Others are grieving the loss of a baby and expected to “move on” without real care.
How We Support Mothers Through
Recovery & Healing
We support mothers recovering after childbirth and women healing after loss through four focused programs.
Postpartum essentials and physical recovery support for new mothers
Emotional counseling for postpartum mothers and grief support for bereaved mothers
Spiritual support and healing programs
Workshops that equip women with financial knowledge and practical skills
Who is this for?
Women who have recently given birth
Mothers navigating postpartum recovery
Women grieving miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of a young child
Mothers in need of emotional, spiritual, or practical support
Why REST Exists
After the birth of my first child, I experienced intense postpartum pain—followed by anxiety and postpartum depression. With access to the right support—physical, emotional, and spiritual—I was able to recover and embrace motherhood.
But I quickly realized a difficult truth:
that level of care is not accessible to many women.
Many mothers, especially in Ghana, are unaware that postpartum support even exists. Without knowledge, resources, or financial means, they suffer in silence—believing pain and emotional distress are simply part of motherhood.
Through direct hospital outreach and engagement with mothers, one truth became undeniable:
mothers are often the least supported, despite carrying the greatest weight.
REST Foundation was established to change this reality.
We provide structured, holistic support—postpartum care, emotional and spiritual healing, and financial empowerment—so no mother walks alone.
