IMR has provided support for practitioners in resource-poor regions  pursuing a formal education in healthcare through the Eddy Rosé Excelente Fund. The fund was created in honor of Nicaraguan Ob/Gyn Dr. Eddy Rosé, a great doctor and friend that our Executive Director Ambereen had known since 2001. In his spirit of caring and kindness, we established the Eddy Rose Excelente Fund (Fondo Excelente) that provides scholarship to help pay the grantee’s tuition in their program of choice.  We have supported individuals pursuing their education in medicine and nursing in Nicaragua and Haiti and have provided scholarships for Black student midwives in the United States.
