Help a Ugandan orphan to become a midwife

Donation protected

Hi, My name is Ilana Shemesh and I am a nurse-midwife. Upon retirement, I volunteered in a birth center in Uganda and then opened a maternity center for the Abayudaya Jewish Community in Uganda. I am now fundraising on behalf of Recheal Magoba, a young, smart, 21-year-old Ugandan orphan girl whose dream is to study to become a midwife. She has a passion to help women and babies have safe births in Uganda and is willing to work very hard to achieve this goal. She has been accepted to the Mbale School of Nursing and Midwifery. Unfortunately, her adoptive family, who has loved and raised her, just cannot afford the extra financial burden of her tuition and upkeep during her midwifery education of 2 and a half years. As a midwife myself, who has experienced first-hand the call to assist mothers and infants and bring life to the world, I am determined to help her to enable her to fulfill her life's ambition. Will you help me help her? Please donate to this most worthy cause and let's make the world a safer place for mothers and babies.
