On March 18th only, Global Giving is offering a 30% match on YOUR donations!
Next week, GECC has a special gift-matching opportunity. Global Giving will match 30% of every donation made to GECC on March 18th. That is less than one week away. This is a great opportunity to increase the impact of your donation!
But why should you choose GECC for your charitable giving?
Through GECC’s innovative training program, nurses are being equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide emergency care to patients in rural areas. But the training programs are doing more than just meeting countries’ needs for trained medical professionals. The programs also have a significant impact on the nurses’ motivation and job satisfaction.
A study conducted in 2006 on health worker motivation in Africa showed that training directly influences the professional commitment of nurses and non-physician clinicians. In fact, two-thirds of workers surveyed in Kenya and Benin ranked further education and professional progress highest among their professional objectives.
GECC’s program also empowers graduates to share their knowledge with their colleagues. Emergency Care Practitioners who have completed the program join the teaching staff each year to instruct the next cohort of trainees. Through this model, GECC’s program becomes self-sustained by the host hospital or school in just a few years.
Won’t you consider helping GECC continue inspiring nurses to develop professionally and take pride in the care they provide? A donation of $75 will provide one Ugandan trainer a teaching stipend for three months. Please mark your calendars to take full advantage of Global Giving's Match Day on March 18th. All donations will be matched by 30% from Global Giving.
Thank you for your continued support. Your generosity helps us train Uganda’s next cadre of life-saving emergency care workers. To learn more about this program and GECC’s ongoing efforts, please visit our website, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter.
