Wednesday, March 13, is GlobalGiving Bonus Day.   GlobalGiving will match all donations by 30% up to a maximum of $1000 per donor per project.   Only online donations (credit card or PayPal) are eligible for matching. Bonus Day begins at 9am eastern (6am west coast time).  The $50,000 in bonus funds will go fast!  THE VERY EARLY BIRD REAPS THE MATCHING FUNDS.  So don’t hesitate, let’s hear it for midwifery!

Alima is another of our successful midwifery trainees, currently completing her 3rd year of training.   She is one of 35 village girls whose post secondary training we have supported in the past three years.  100% of these girls have successfully completed their training or are currently in training.   Midwifery is a high priority training program because skilled midwives are crucial in ensuring the availability of high quality maternal and child health services, particularly in rural areas.   Each year we aim to enroll at least one student in midwifery.  

Please help us complete our funding for a 2013 midwifery student.  Make your donation go 30% farther Wednesday, March 13!  Remember: Bonus Day begins at 9am eastern (6am west coast time).  Bonus day funds will go fast!   THE EARLY BIRD REAPS THE MATCHING FUNDS!
