UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming support of GlobalGiving’s donors, we’ve raised our funding goal to $14,074 to save even more mothers and babies.
I am over joyed to report that GlobalGiving’s participation in our rally to throw a baby shower for our Onura clinic in South Sudan has raised nearly $4,000 so far in less than a day.
Our Onura Maternal Survival Project has gone from being one of our least supported projects on GlobalGiving to being fully funded (between May 2010 and yesterday, donors had only given $840).
This project will save the lives of hundreds of mothers and babies (right now, one in five mothers in Onura die in childbirth). It will fund the supplies midwives need to deliver babies safely. It also will train midwives to deal with childbirth complications.
Thank you GlobalGiving! Thank you Global Giving donors! Thank you Hope Ofiriha supporters!
