When you train a Ugandan student you help them, their family and their country develop. However, when you train a Ugandan as a nurse you may also be preparing for your own future, or helping the NHS to survive.
In Kabubbu, two girls are desperate to train as nurses. Both completed CSE equivalent level exams with good grades. Both have chosen not to graduate to ‘A’ Levels but to train as SRNs in a Nursing College to help provide better healthcare for their people.
Gloria and Angela both have the same problem. Their sponsors were unable to continue. For example, Angela’s sponsor had a stroke and is now unable to work. They don’t need long term support. At £130 a month x 30 months or a one off gift of £3,900, for each girl, they could both reach their dreams.
To help in any way, please email Quicken Trust and we will provide more detail. Thank you.
A 2015 study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has revealed 36% of NHS doctors were born overseas. More recently, the Daily Mirror reported on 10th October 2021, that our NHS is short of 39,000 nurses. Thousands more are thinking of leaving the NHS. 15% of all staff in our NHS have reported a nationality that’s not British. We so value their loving and concerned care.
