I work with CSI Uganda and truly enjoy my role in the organization as Program Coordinator. Helping mothers when we do free cervical cancer screenings and when we give away childbirth kits. I mostly enjoy working with girls and encouraging them to go to school and learn. In Uganda, many girls don't get the opportunity to learn, so when I see myself talking to girls about menstruation and helping them stay in school, I feel great.

In 2013 when CSI was established, we envisioned a growing organization--saving lives of mothers and children, empowering youth and impacting communities. When the CSI Board reviews the work accomplished since 2013, it is humbling because CSI is headed in the right direction and growing to reach the unreached. CSI is in three countries - Tanzania, Uganda and Nigeria. This work wouldn't be possible without the generous contributions from individuals and funding from Rotary International.

CSI Tanzania team have been helping people through programs like school program,girl talk girl power and now a team prepares some safe motherhood workshops in Tanzania which helps mothers to know what are the important issues during pregnancy, in delivery and after delivery.

CSI organized a workshop of safe motherhood on 2nd April 2016 at Ukonga Ilala, Dar es salaam and one hundred pregnant women invited and during workshop they get skills and knowledge of best nutritional requirements and understanding of risks signs during pregnancy period.

We reach to unreached and we will still help a community for their well-being.
