CMMB

In today’s Gospel, Jesus looks upon the crowds with compassion, seeing they are “troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.” He sends His disciples to accompany those in need, bringing healing and hope.

That call continues today. At CMMB, accompaniment is at the heart of our work. In Peru, community health workers walk alongside pregnant women and new mothers, supporting both their physical and emotional well being. Maternal mental health can be a silent struggle, which is why we train health workers to recognize signs, encourage conversation, and connect women with CMMB psychologists.

Like the disciples, we are called to accompany those whose burdens may go unseen. Our hope is that every mother knows she is seen, valued, and never alone.
