Women Making a Difference

International Women's Day, March 8th, has been observed since the early 1900’s and is celebrated today with thousands of events held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate their achievements. To commemorate International Women’s Day in 2008, USAID’s Bureau for Global Health developed a web feature entitled “Women Making a Difference,” compiling profiles about outstanding women who are making a difference in their own countries through work for USAID, its missions, and partner organizations.

URC is pleased to join USAID and partners worldwide to bring a spotlight to women from our staff who are playing critical roles in USAID-funded health programs in their countries. We are also pleased to highlight the contributions of dozens of Mayan auxiliary nurse-midwives that URC has trained in Guatemala to provide life-saving services in their communities.

We are proud of their accomplishments and invite you to read their stories.
