Olanya Jackeline Grace

Olanya Jackeline Grace has been a midwife for 22 years. She initially worked at Lacore Hospital for 3 years after which she joined the government system. She likes her work and likes seeing babies born healthy and alive, to healthy mothers. She has been happy with the work that STEP-UP has done in Aswa, noting that they have built her capacity and she in turn has built the capacity of others. She hopes to soon see the impact of the work. She prays that STEP-UP continues to help a “desperate community” with limited resources. She is the mother of four children ages 15 (twins!)-21.
