Halfway Homes
In the Philippines, many women living in remote island communities face a very difficult journey to get to a birthing clinic. If the weather is bad, the trip is difficult and dangerous for a woman in labor.

This allows them to have more choice as to when it is safe and easier to travel. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4SV5UjXXyI
