Donate your leftover currency to The Helen Loewenstein Memorial Trust

HLMT makes grants to cover course-fees and essential study expenses for student midwives in Liberia who would not otherwise have sufficient funds to train to become qualified midwives. 

Liberia has among the very worst levels of child and maternal mortality in the world. The Liberian maternal mortality rate is 661 per 100,000; by comparison, the UK’s maternal mortality rate is just 7 per 100,000. 

Liberia has just over 200 fully qualified midwives for 5.4 million people;  but ideally needs just under 3000 qualified midwives. The ratio of midwives and nurses in Liberia has worsened over the past 20 years due to civil wars and Ebola. 

HLMT aims to fund a minimum of two new students each year and commits to paying their fees throughout the 4 year course. 

All funds raised will be used to pay the students fees.  The Trust has been set up in memory of Helen Loewenstein, a remarkable midwife and someone who touched the lives of so many, both in the UK and Liberia.
