It's Time to Celebrate OneMama Style!

Hello Sweet Friends and Family of OneMama,

     It has been another vigorous year of events and adventures for OneMama and although at times it seemed as these strides towards my vision were small, as the year ends I am reminded and amazed at all the support and love that helped OneMama continue to move forward in these times of adversity. Your generosity is astounding and I encourage you to take a moment to read about all our accomplishments this year and celebrate life: yours, the ones you saved, and the life you breathe into OneMama. We are all OneMama. And to you, my biggest thanks!!
           – Siobhan “ShaBoom”

You Are Making A Difference

With many established clinics in our area closing their doors due to financial struggles, OneMama has seen an increase in demand for its services. Your support allows our clinic to increase patient numbers and continue to save lives. This year The Ross Foundation awarded a grant for a solar panel system that will bring electricity to the village, we were featured at the Tedx Peace Innovation Conference, Women Rock It, and events for the Golden Globes and Oscars. Let's continue the OneMama momentum! Here are some great ways for you to get involved:

What OneMama needs:
  • Solar Panel Delivery
    20 solar panels and 18 batteries donated by The Ross Foundation need a way to Africa! $150 is needed for each for safe arrival.
  • Medical Supplies
    20 bags of medical supplies donated by The Birthing Foundation also need a way to Africa. $150 for each will ensure their safe trip.
  • Solar Panel Installation
    OneMama is $3,000 short for the installation costs of what will be an incredible change and addition to what is now a candlelit clinic.
  • Ugandan Nurse
    $1,000 will pay for 6 months of assistance.
  • Malaria Tests
    $1,000 will provide 6 months worth of tests.
  • Malaria Treatments
    $2,000 will give those suffering relief for 6 months.
  • Education Supplies
    $500 will teach and give those in need a chance to become economically self sufficient.
Take Action! Every $4 saves 2 lives!
  • Raise money through colleagues and friends. Take up holiday collections or run a race for OneMama and inspire those around you to donate towards your goal.
  • Have a bake sale or garage sale with proceeds benefiting OneMama.
  • Purchase holiday gifts from the OneMama collection. Did you know 100% of the proceeds goes towards the needs of the clinic?
  • Get your company, social group, or church to get involved and donate.
  • Know a business owner? Suggest they donate a portion of proceeds to the OneMama cause.
  • Have a OneMama or ShaBoom cosmetics party with your closest friends.
  • Start a OneMama clinic in a new country or region through the OneMama Franchise Adoption Model.
  • Or just get out there and inspire!!
Our goal is to raise $20,000 before the next trip to Africa on Dec 25 - Jan 21.
This will ensure that the OneMama clinic is properly running leading into the New Year.

However you choose to support to OneMama, remember to have fun doing it!
 

We are not only about saving lives but also about creating joy in this world.

Siobhan's Hello From Uganda - OneMama turned 3 yrs-old!

Hello My Dearest Family and Friends,

OneMama is 3 Now!

I am writing to you from the OneMama Clinic here in Uganda. This has been an amazing trip. I am still always taken aback by how things are powered on this project by one miracle after another.

I'm asking for one more MIRACLE before I leave on Sat Feb 5th...
We only need to raise $1900 more before I leave to finish buying all the supplies needed for this trip.
This is what everyone involved with OneMama wants for OneMama's Birthday...This One More Miracle!

It is incredible to think that just 3 years ago Jan 6th, 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 3 years. 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.

Here is a link to view pictures from the last 3 years:

www.flickr.com/photos/onemama/sets/72157620914855341/show/

We have come far, but still have a long way to go in 2011.
This trip alone we have made a lot of progress with very little money...
but we are short on donations needed for me to complete my work while I am in Africa until Saturday, Feb 5th.
OneMama is in need of your continued donations to keep us functional and thriving.
Just $4-5 will buy a birthing kit to aid in the safe delivery for two mothers and babies as well as help with malaria testing and treatment.
Visit www.onemama.org to donate and learn about volunteering opportunities.

Here are some accomplishments of OneMama's Pilot Program in Uganda has accomplished in these last 3 years:

  • We now have birthing kits and medical supplies needed for safe and pain free births on a continuous basis.
  • We have Malaria Tests and treatments, HIV testing, and immunizations for Mothers and Babies on site.
  • 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.
  • 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 make and donate 20,000 bricks to contribute towards the new solar facility yearly until completed.
  • We have gained commitments from surrounding villages, which will aid them in taking ownership over the new clinic and programs.
  • OneMama is a registered CBO in Uganda with a great set of local Ugandan leaders who volunteer their time to the program and is almost completed the process of being an official NGO of Uganda.
  • We have met with Parliament, the ministry of health and proper leadership in the local community and have their blessing.
  • We now have scheduled regular malaria prevention education classes and mosquito net sales with our partners.
  • 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 regularly on site.
  • We now have great partnerships with PREFA - HIV prevention, SoftPower Health - Malaria Prevention and Family Planning and Volunteers to continue building our sustainable programs.
  • We now have established the two acres that will be donated to build the new OneMama Clinic when we raise the money in near future.
Accomplishments here in the United States:
  • OneMama is an official 501(c)(3) 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 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 OneMama.
  • OneMama has started to become a charity of choice for Celebrity events such as the Golden Globes, Grammys, and Oscars Pre & Post Events, helping to bring attention to these issues.
