Love a Mama Midwifery Scholarship
Donation protected
Imagine a state with a population of more than 25 million. Now imagine there are only 18 obstetricians/gynecologists to serve the entire population. Oh, and keep in mind that they only live in the largest regional center and that women in rural areas have ZERO access to care, leaving the OB/GYNs to primarily serve the wealthy and elite.
Let us present the data another way for you: These numbers would translate roughly into having about 18 OB/GYNs in ALL OF AUSTRALIA.
Got that perspective in your head? This is the state of maternal health care in rural India. And this is the reason the Love A Mama Community is working to change that this Mother’s Day.
This year, in addition to supplying clean birth kits in rural India, you and I are going to send a young Indian woman to be formally trained as a nurse/midwife. As part of her scholarship, she has signed a contract to return to her village and serve as a regional midwife and community nurse for a minimum of three years upon graduation. She’ll not only provide vital health care services, but will multiply essential maternal health education and train up other community-based village birth attendants to join her.
