The Gretta Foundation is a 501c3 organization based in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to supporting the development of highly-skilled nurses and midwives in Africa, primarily in Uganda. Over the past 15 years, they have provided scholarships and educational opportunities to young people from impoverished communities, resulting in improved healthcare access and significant reductions in maternal and infant mortality rates. Although they are no longer accepting donations, the impact of their work continues through the care provided by their Gretta Graduates and the enhanced capacity of nursing and midwifery educators.
Founded by nurse-scholar Dr. Margretta Madden Styles, the foundation is named in her honor and reflects her belief in the vital role of nurses in making a difference worldwide. Through their mission, the Gretta Foundation has not only contributed to better healthcare outcomes but also created pathways for economic advancement for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. With a focus on providing nursing to those who have none, the organization has made a lasting impact on communities in Africa, particularly in Uganda.
