Women's and Girls' Health

Is our commitment to improve the health of girls and women, we focus on providing comprehensive and culturally relevant care, ensuring access to essential information and services for their well-being.

Transforming Lives Through Surgery for Women and Their Families

Our mobile rural clinics reach women in remote communities, identifying those who need critical surgeries—many of whom have been waiting for years without a solution. These women face barriers like distance, poverty, and language that prevent them from accessing the care they need.

We provide life-changing surgeries that restore not only physical health but also dignity. For example, we help women who have lived for years with masses or lipomas, fibroids that have caused significant discomfort, or even uterine prolapse or umbilical hernias after multiple pregnancies. These conditions often make simple daily activities a challenge, and in some cases, lead to social isolation.

At the heart of our mission is ensuring that these women receive the care they deserve, improving their quality of life and offering hope for a healthier future. We are committed to removing the barriers that have stood in their way for too long, one surgery at a time.

Menstrual Hygiene

We dedicate time to educational sessions for girls, teaching them that menstruation is a natural process that should not prevent them from attending school. They receive accurate information on menstrual hygiene practices and body care, along with an environmentally friendly Menstrual Kit.

Education and Prevention

We conduct two annual training sessions on VIA and thermocoagulation treatments. The first is conducted in collaboration with Faith in Practice, involving 20 to 30 healthcare professionals who receive intensive theoretical and practical training for a week.

The second training is organized directly by our team, with the support of Faith in Practice providing trainers and supplies.

This comprehensive approach not only strengthens the skills of local healthcare personnel but also ensures that our initiatives are sustainable and effective in the long term.

Training Workshops Focused on Building Local Capacity

During the Rural Medical Missions, we organize educational sessions on cervical cancer prevention and early detection of breast cancer.

Cervical Cancer and Breast Cancer

We offer evaluations to detect precancerous cells in the cervix through visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA). If abnormalities are found, we provide immediate treatment with thermocoagulation. During the missions, we establish two VIA clinics, conducting between 200 and 250 evaluations in four days.

We also perform breast examinations through inspection and palpation for early cancer detection. If any anomalies are detected, we guide the patient to initiate timely treatment.
