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.

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.
- 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.
