Siobhan's Story

Hello My Old School Friends, I have been a bit busy out in the world... Here are some things i am up to now... Here is one of my blogs from last December... to give you a taste of my new life.. .................................. OneMama Is 1 Now! It is incredible to think that just a year ago today, OneMama was just my vision based on the ideal to make others feel loved and shown that they matter in this world. I am so thankful for all the love and support in these last 12 months, OneMama would not have been able to come this far without YOU! It warms my heart to know that my passion has translated into the hearts of others. Whether you have given money or donated your time, your consciousness has single-handedly helped to change a community and taken steps to change the world. We have come far, but still have a long way to go in 2009. Help OneMama in its goal to build 250 clinics worldwide and continue to touch hearts around the globe. OneMama is in need of your continued donations and volunteers. Just $10 will buy a birthing kit to aid in the safe delivery for two mothers and babies as well as help to prevent HIV transmission. Visit onemama . org to donate and learn about volunteering opportunities. We are all OneMama living on One Mother earth. Here are some accomplishments of OneMama¿s Pilot Program in Uganda this year: We now have birthing kits and medical supplies needed for safe and pain free births through December 2008. We have introduced Malaria Tests and treatments, HIV testing, and immunizations for Mothers and Babies on Sundays. We have built a safe place for all our supplies and medicine so they will be safe from damage and theft. We now have mosquito nets available for everyone that stays at the clinic; mothers, babies, and midwives. We have new clean beds for the delivery and examination areas. A OneMama sign has been posted at the clinic, the village center and the first town. We now have a OneMama advisory committee to keep the surrounding 6 villages committed and engaged in this project and keep our organization a breast of community concerns. They will also oversee the local donations of bricks and supplies from each village. Each village has committed to ma...Expand for more
ke and donate 20,000 bricks to contribute towards the new solar facility. We have gained commitments from surrounding villages, which will aid them in taking ownership over the new clinic and programs. OneMama is now a registered CBO in Uganda with a great set of local Ugandan leaders who volunteer their time to the program. We have met with Parliament, the ministry of health and proper leadership in the local community and have their blessing. We now have scheduled monthly malaria prevention education classes and mosquito net sales. We have vocational education classes in place to make the OneMama Collection which helps pay for healthcare and clinic costs, and develops community sustainability. We have family planning education and treatment scheduled once a month on site. We now have proper lighting for night deliveries, which eliminate candlelit deliveries. We now have a solar generator and solar panels that will charge rechargeable lamps and other equipment. We now have great partnerships with PREFA - HIV prevention, SoftPower Health ¿ Malaria Prevention and Family Planning and with FSD for future Volunteers to continue building our sustainable programs. We now have established the two acres that will be donated to build the new OneMama Clinic in July 2009. Accomplishments here in the United States: OneMama is now an official 501c3 Non-Profit organization. We have been recognized by Tactics of Hope as a social entrepreneur organization. We have launched our OneMama collection here in the USA, which 100% of proceeds go back into the OneMama Ugandan community who hand craft the products. We now have T-Shirts made in Uganda and USA, which are being used as fundraising tools to help generate money and support OneMama programs. Founder, Siobhan Neilland has also created Shaboom products to help fund the OneMama programs. This all-natural line is OneMama¿s long-term fundraising machine giving 25% of proceeds to the organization. Thanks Again for everything! Love and Light, Siobhan Neilland | Founder OneMama . org ¿We are all OneMama on this OneMother Earth! We all want to feel like we are loved and we matter in this world!¿
