Eleanor Matongo is the nurse midwife at Simukanka. She works
at the health clinic built by Communities Without Borders. Lise Johnson says
that Eleanor “is an amazing, talented and dedicated clinician.” Dick Bail, CWB’s
founder, refers to her as “Saint Eleanor because she’s been so much, to so many
people.” Her work has been a blessing to the community, where she has lost no
mothers or infants during pregnancy and has elevated the level of care that is
available to the surrounding communities. Her accomplishments in the past year
include attending 152 births. Eleanor has also initiated and implemented a
program to provide medication to 84 HIV+ patients on a regular basis. The
community is so lucky to have her!
