Midwife Scholarship Passion Project
At convention last year, my heartstrings were tugged on as I listened to Edna Adan tell us about the women in Sanaag and the challenges they face.
Because empowering women through birth is deeply embedded in my bones, I wanted so much to help, but where to start???
What can I do??
This is WAY bigger than me!
I reached out to dōTERRA to brainstorm some ideas, and I’m beyond excited to tell you what came of that discussion.
Imagine giving birth at home by yourself without any assistance. When a baby is born in Sanaag, a mama is often at home with no medical help. In fact, medical attention is usually not even close by.
I am raising funds to give scholarships to send 20 women to midwifery school with Edna Adan Ismail in Hargeisa.
These scholarships will pay for their travel, food, and housing, as well as an instrument kit that can be properly cleaned and sterilized after each birth and my favorite oils to take to births.
The women of Sanaag can significantly benefit from having midwives with proper training in their village. This is a passion project of mine, and I know that together we can raise funds to help the survival rate of newborns and mothers in Sanaag. Please help me empower and educate these women in desperate need of our help.
Most babies in Sanaag are born at home without the assistance of a midwife. By sending 20 women to midwifery school, we are educating women to assist mothers to birth their babies safely at home and recognize when to seek medical attention at the Sannag Specialty Hospital.
We can make a difference and change the current circumstances to save thousands of lives. Together we will empower the women of Sanaag for generations to come.
