OBA has collaborated with a professional film maker to create a video highlighting the Arusha Lutheran Medical Center School of Nursing. In Tanzania, nurses are in short supply. Including doctors, nurses, midwives, and health aides, there are only 5 providers in Tanzania for every 10,000 people. In 2015, Operation Bootstrap Africa partnered with ALMC to start a nursing school which helps to fill some of this need. The ALMC School of Nursing provides 1, 2, and 3 year training programs for students pursuing degrees or certification in the fields of midwifery, community health, and nursing. OBA provides a scholarship fund for the ALMC School of Nursing which subsidizes the cost of tuition for all students, and creates greater access to healthcare education. Nurses trained here are bringing heart and hope to their country, and paving the way for women in the workplace. Click on the video above to learn more about this incredible program.
In January of this year, we were able to travel to Tanzania with some of our amazing donors. Along with us, was a professional photographer who documented the schools we visited, and really captured the beauty of the students in our programs. Enjoy the photos and email us if you would like to see more!
This photo is from an edition of the Dignity circa 1997! It looked a little different back then. We love to look back on our past and see how things have grown since then. If you would like a copy of the Spring 2020 edition of the Dignity, email admin@bootstrapafrica.org your home address. We will get a copy to you ASAP!
OBA is proud to have been recognized as a 4-star organization by Charity Navigator for 8 consecutive years! This status is rewarded for meeting the highest standards of financial health, transparency, and accountability. This puts us in the top 10% of all nonprofit organizations in the United States. We are so grateful to our donors for helping us maintain this standard, and hope to keep it going in the future!
