International Midwife Assistance (IMA)
IMA offers general medical care, prenatal, vaccination, family planning services and a birth center, to help the poorest of the poor in the Teso region of Uganda.
IMA midwives train local practitioners provide quality prenatal and birth services, as well as general medical care, to increasing numbers of women and children from surrounding poor communities. Through these services, women receive the assistance they need to help ensure safe, healthy pregnancies. The clinic staff also conducts weekly mobile outreach clinics to remote rural areas.
Our birth center allows us to offer special assistance to women during childbirth, increasing the capacity to ensure safe delivery and quick and efficient response to complications during childbirth. Feasible low-cost health interventions are all that is needed to save countless lives of women and babies in Uganda.

Global Education Fund (GEF) is BoldeReach's 2009 beneficiary. GEF will be speaking about the work that they are doing in Kenya to support education for orphans and displaced children. In particular, they will be addressing their Leadership Program in Kenya that supports schools, scholarships, special leadership courses and mentoring.
"Education is a central factor in Africa's poverty trap. Educated children will almost certainly earn more than their parents when they grow up, and be able to do more for their own children. Pulling children out of school all but condemns them to poverty."

Seeking Common Ground believes that in order to create peace people must accept that conflict is an inevitable part of life, and learn skills with which to approach it effectively and constructively.
People in conflict, who come together intentionally, create relationships through social interaction, and practice new communication skills, approach their conflicts from a place of connection rather than detachment. That connection is integral to building a lasting and deep understanding between people in conflict. Seeking Common Ground strives to empower individuals to change the world by creating peaceful communities through integration, socialization, communication, and leadership development.
Seeking Common Ground operates from these guiding principles:
- Prejudice can be transformed into understanding by confronting fears of the unknown and breaking down stereotypes;
- Communication is a learned skill, and is integral to understanding other perspectives;
- Meaningful encounters with diverse groups of people decrease stereotyping of those groups;
- In order to approach conflict effectively, the parties involved must build relationships;
- Young women need access to programs that enable them to become leaders in their communities;
- Every individual has the power to effect positive change in her own life and the lives of those around them.
