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.

Engineers Without Borders – USA Update on BoldeReach Proceeds

The Staff and Governing Board of EWB-USA were ecstatic over the money raised by the women of BoldeReach at their Gala on June 24, 2006.  After much discussion, EWB-USA decided to distribute the money in the following manner:

$3,500  Project led by John Bennett, Chair of EWB-USA.  This was money committed as a result of John’s direct appeal during the gala, and for which he is matching funds.

$20,000  BoldeReach project grants to be distributed in Fall 2006.  Ten $2,000 grants are being made to EWB-USA Chapters for water projects.  All projects must be a collaboration with another non-governmental organization, another chapter, or a university.

$5,000  BoldeReach Project Award to be announced at the EWB-USA Annual Conference in Amherst, Massachusetts in April 2007.  The winning project must have a water component within a multi-year phased project, and must be in collaboration with another non-governmental organization, another chapter, or a university.

$12,750  Partial funding of a new Project Manager who will approve, review, track and support EWB-USA projects, maintain close communication with chapters to ensure their projects are appropriate, workable and on track, and report back to the Technical Advisory Committee and the EWB-USA Board.

$12,750   Partial funding of a new EWB-USA website that will allow members, supporters, donors, and staff to get up-to-the-minute information on EWB-USA activities, projects, and opportunities, register for Regional Workshops and the Annual Conference, make contributions to the chapter or project of their choice, and much more!

EWB-USA is currently accepting applications for the BoldeReach Grants, and will make decisions about the recipients by the end of November.  We look forward to announcing these 10 projects and highlighting the work they are doing to improve access to clean water around the world.
