Jobs Placements for 1,500 Unemployed Female Nurses

Dear Donors,

Thank you to those who have already contributed to the Jobs Placements for 1,500 Unemployed Female Nurses project. Your generosity shows care for both trained nurses seeking work and communities that lack reliable health services.

Across Nigeria, many qualified female nurses remain without jobs after graduation, while rural and low-income areas struggle with staff shortages. Clinics are often understaffed, patients wait long hours, and some facilities cannot provide basic care consistently. At the same time, many nurses are unable to secure placements due to relocation costs, paperwork, or lack of connections to hiring facilities.

This project is planned to link 1,500 unemployed female nurses with health centers in rural and underserved locations. Support will cover job matching, basic orientation, transport assistance, documentation, and starter tools needed for their first months of work. Health facilities will benefit from additional hands, while nurses gain paid roles and practical experience.

At this stage, although a donation has been received, the funds available are not yet enough to begin implementation. Placement activities, logistics, and onboarding cannot start until more support is secured.

Once funding improves, we will begin matching nurses to clinics and provide regular updates on placements made. This effort can help reduce staff shortages, allow nurses to earn a living, and bring regular care closer to communities that need it.

Thank you for your continued interest and support as we work to move this project forward.

With appreciation,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi

Dear friend,

Thank you for taking the time to learn about this project. Although no donations have been received yet, your interest means a lot. We have been reaching out to hospitals, clinics, and private health maintenance organizations to understand their staffing needs and prepare a database of unemployed female nurses who are ready to work.

In Nigeria, many qualified female nurses remain without jobs due to limited opportunities, poor connections, and the rising cost of relocation. Some trained years ago but have never practiced, while others take low-paying jobs outside healthcare just to survive. With proper support, these nurses can return to doing what they love—caring for people and saving lives.

Your future donation will help us connect nurses to real job openings, cover interview logistics, and provide basic orientation for workplace readiness. Together, we can open doors for hundreds of women who have the skills but need a fair chance to use them.

Warm regards
Joy Etubi
