From the Founder

"Postpartum was the season that changed everything for me... What I needed more than anything was a community that understood that returning is not simple, that rebuilding takes time, and that no woman should have to do it alone.

HERd Africa exists because I could not find that room when I needed it, so I built it."

- Belinda Odongo
