Thanks to Global Giving Donors
By Jerome Kabakyenga | Project Leader
Dear Donors,
In July 2019 Mayanja Memorial Hospital Foundation received a disbursement from Global Giving. The process is on to select deserving students who have challenges in meeting the costs of their education to graduate as nurses. Although there are many deserving students the funds can only cater for a handful. The Foundation is grateful to all donors who have supported students to graduate as certified nurses. We will update donors on the exact number of students who will qualify to be assisted from the latest disbursement.
Since the start of this project more than 30 students have been supported through Global Giving donations. These health workers are working in various workplaces contributing to the development of the country. At the same time they are able to support their families from the earned income.
We wish all our donors well.

More support for the needy students is welcome
By Jerome Kabakyenga | Project Leader
Nursing and Midwifery students are currently sitting the end second semester national examinations. Some of these students are faced with the challenge of meeting tuition costs for their studies. To some needy continuing students they may not be able to continue their studies next academic year if they do not get some form of sponsorship. To some of these their parents/guardians may be forced to sell part of their family asset (usually land) to meet the cost of the training.
We thank the GlobalGiving community for the support given to Mayanja Memorial Hospital Foundation so far and this support has helped a number of students to get national certification in nursing/midwifely. The number of applications by needy students for support is still high. We call on all those who are able to support this cause not to tire. Your support is welcome.

Demand for support for needy students to earn a certification in Nursing still high
By Jerome Kabakyenga | Project Leader
Since 2011, with financial support from GlobalGiving, Mayanja Memorial Hospital Foundation has supported more than 20 students to get a certifications in Nursing. These Ugandans are working in various health institutions in the country and have contributed to the welfare of their families and country. Mayanja Memorial Medical Training Institute has a student population of about 800 and about 5% of them are not able to meet the tuition fees. A number of them drop out from the programme or their parents are forced to sell off the only remaining family property such as land.
In the last one month the Uganda Certificate Examination (UCE) results (ordinary level) were published. The Foundation is receiving a number of UCE certificate holders looking for financial support to enable them enroll for a nusing course at Mayanja Memorial Medical Training Institute.
The Foundation extends thanks and appreciation to all the GlobalGiving Donors for the support to the cause since 2011. We still call upon GlobalGiving Community to continue supporting the needy student to earn certifications in Nursing. The Foundation calls for more support.
