As our plans for our March 2016 training firm up, the goal for our annual campaign becomes crystal clear: we have 62 nurses waiting in Laos who need to be funded. We work with 31 clinics, each has 2 nurses that will attend our trainings. Each nurses full-year training costs $240. $240 x 62 = our $15,000 total.
The goal is clear. The reason for the trainings is also clear: nurses need to ensure safe births for all of the women of their villages year-round. Many do not have much birth training. That’s where our CleanBirth trainings come in — with midwives from the Yale School of Nursing we improve their skills and give them resources to use in birth.
For example, all 31 clinics now use our birth kits for every birth at the clinic. Before they lacked sterile supplies – now they have what they need.
