I promise to do my best to show love and care to all patients, especially mothers and their young ones. I will try to follow Father Giuseppe Ambrosoli\u2019s demonstration of love and hospitality. We can all live in memory of his teachings.\u201d <\/em>Sister Beatrice Kwena, midwife.<\/p>\n

Since she was a child, Sister Beatrice Kwena has cultivated a deep religious drive and the clear will to spend herself for the most needy. At 22 in Gulu, she becomes a nun. Within her congregation, she meets sister Carmel, Director of the Kalongo Midwifery School. This meeting changes her life, making a new seed sprout in her: the desire to take care of women, mothers and their children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2016, thanks to one of our donors<\/strong> who generously financed her studies<\/strong>, Sr. Beatrice Kwena obtained the C<\/strong>ertificate in Midwifery<\/strong>, at Kalongo Midwifery School. Since then she has worked permanently at Dr. Ambrosoli Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n

Faithful to the commitment made, both as a religious and as a midwife, sister Beatrice did not stop here but chose to continue her studies and obtain a Diploma in Midwifery<\/strong>. And we have chosen to support her once again, because in Kalongo and beyond, there is a great need for her!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 1990, according to the WHO - WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION - we have been witnessing a constant decline in the maternal and neonatal mortality rate worldwide, largely attributable to the presence of a greater number of midwives.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is still a lot to do in Uganda: the maternal mortality rate is 343 per 100.000 children born alive (in Italy it is 3).<\/p>\n

The majority of deaths can be avoided with adequate prenatal care, assisted birth and postnatal care; activities that properly trained midwives can carry out independently. In addition, midwives, as women and members of the same local communities, carry out an essential awareness-raising action for the community and can act as a spokesperson for women\u2019s rights. They are agents of lasting change, which matures within communities<\/strong>. This means \u201cSaving Africa with Africa\u201d <\/em>and this has been done by St. Mary\u2019s Midwifery Training School since 1959.<\/p>\n

This is why we do not step back from the commitment to do more to support this important work. We want to expand the accommodation capacity of the school<\/strong> from a structural point of view and improve the teaching quality of the training courses<\/strong>, accompanying and supporting the school in the creation of the Degree Course in Midwifery<\/strong>, recognized at a National level.<\/p>\n

Stay by our side, we need your help to continue supporting the training and growth of women in Norther Uganda, thank you! <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=\"No Line\" custom_height=\"50\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=\"in_container\" full_screen_row_position=\"middle\" scene_position=\"center\" text_color=\"dark\" text_align=\"left\" overlay_strength=\"0.3\" shape_divider_position=\"bottom\" bg_image_animation=\"none\"][vc_column column_padding=\"no-extra-padding\" column_padding_position=\"all\" background_color_opacity=\"1\" background_hover_color_opacity=\"1\" column_link_target=\"_self\" column_shadow=\"none\" column_border_radius=\"none\" width=\"1\/1\" tablet_width_inherit=\"default\" tablet_text_alignment=\"default\" phone_text_alignment=\"default\" column_border_width=\"none\" column_border_style=\"solid\" bg_image_animation=\"none\"][image_with_animation image_url=\"7781\" alignment=\"\" animation=\"Fade In\" border_radius=\"none\" box_shadow=\"none\" max_width=\"100%\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
