Emilia's Legacy
Nurse Emilia Ndaba
Emilia Ndaba is the grandmother to Nurses with Purpose founder, Elaine Ndaba-Alston. It is our honour to continue her legacy through awarding an outstanding nursing student to participate in a medical mission in her home country of South Africa; the birthplace of Elaine and where nurse Emilia began her career.
Nurse Emilia broke many boundaries as a nurse in an apartheid nation. To be a black nurse that was allowed to work at one of the most prestigious hospitals at the time, showed hard work and determination to the profession. Her compassion extended outside of the hospital gates into her own home by taking care of the ill.
By becoming a sponsorship recipient not only speaks volumes of you as an exemplary nursing student but also carries a legacy of a family who cared for the sick and vulnerable even when compensation was not a factor. From then, until the present day with her granddaughter, Elaine, carrying the torch to help vulnerable citizens throughout the world, we invite you to become part of our family.

Our Belief
"Volunteer nurses have a special calling to promote health and healing to those that may not have easy access to healthcare. Whether local, or international, volunteer nurses travel to areas where urgent care needs may arise or continual healthcare is needed. Typically, access to clinical facilities are limited to those seeking help. We advocate for the ones suffering, their families, and communities alike. We not only use our clinical judgment but we infuse them with belief, hope and prayer. We do not discriminate against any group or religion but come wholeheartedly for those in need." Elaine
