Friend and Colleague of Global Birth Fair, Midwife Jane Arnold, currently works for the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) in Rwanda at the RSNM and has been there since August of 2012. On July 19th, 2012 the President of the Republic of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, and Bill Clinton, the former US President, accompanied by his daughter Chelsea Clinton, visited the Rwamagana School of Nursing and Midwifery (RSNM) located in Rwamagana district. The purpose of that visit was to start the Clinton’s seven year program known as the CHAI, which consists of a collaborative partnership with some of the top schools in the USA including Duke University, University of Illinois Chicago and Howard University just to name a few. The vision behind CHAI is that each year 100 American faculty members will spend one year in Rwanda working with medical personnel to transfer training capacity. The program aims to educating over 2000 medical specialists and utilizing e-learning strategies to upgrade the skills of more than 5000 nurses. Jane’s position is to mentor the principal of RSNM Sister Epiphanie Mukabaranga.
