Teso Safe Motherhood
In 2024 and 2025, MFP fiscally sponsored the Phase 1 Reorganization and subsequent work on the Teso Safe Motherhood Clinic and Asianut Sobriety Seekers. This project is led by nurse and global health consultant Beverly Lyne as part of her Peace Through Nursing work.
Teso Safe Motherhood clinic began in 2005 when four nurses said “yes” to helping people displaced by the Ugandan civil war. Beverly Lyne was one of those nurses. The Uganda-staffed clinic cared for over 15,000 Internally Displaced Persons, who had lost their homes, their families - their whole cultural context - to the ravages of the Lord’s Resistance Army.
Joan Gono’s Orphanage
In 2022-2023, MFP fiscally sponsored Joan Gono’s orphanage in N'Zérékoré, Guinea. Since 2008, Joan has worked tirelessly to ensure a better future for dozens of and children in her care. Funds raised allow for continued upkeep up the facility, including solar panels and a palm oil press, as well as providing for the children’s transportation needs.
Mountain Mask Project
At the height of the pandemic, MFP fiscally sponsored the Mountain Mask Project, a group of committed volunteers who made and distributed masks during the PPE shortage. Over 5,000 masks were hand-sewn and delivered by volunteer drives across the Peak to Peak region.
Ghormu Village Ambulance
In 2017, MFP fiscally sponsored the Ghormu Village Ambulance project after the devastating 2015 earthquake in Nepal. The funds were raised by local community members to purchase an ambulance for the village, build a garage, and conduct work toward putting in a water tank for potable water.
