Tanzania Nurse Midwifery Clinic Funding!!
Donation protected
In 2016, while completing coursework towards earning my Master in Community Health Nursing, I had the privilege to travel to Africa and learn about healthcare delivery aimed at women and their children in developing countries. During my time studying, I worked with many brilliant and devoted care providers, but none moreso than a certified nurse midwife (CNM) named Kylie Wilson Gyubi.
Nurse Kylie, who lives and serves the community near Mt. Kilimanjaro in Arusha, Tanzania, has been delivering healthcare to women in her community for over 15 years. She successfully created and runs a midwifery practice and The Parents Club, an organization aimed at eliminating health inequities by empowering women to make health decisions that are grounded in evidence-based best practices. While the program provides breast-feeding training and education to young mothers under 25, it delivers a variety of other programming aimed at improving maternal-child health and breaking down barriers to care within communities in the region.
The aim of this fundraiser to provide Kylie with funding to create her own clinical space, including beds and medical equipment. Once this funding is in place and the clinic has opened, the government in Tanzania will provide financial support to keep her clinical practice running.
Please consider contributing to this fundraiser by helping Kylie to get this great endeavor off the ground. It will positively impact thousands of lives in a beautiful part of the world inhabited by beautiful and caring people!
