Women’s Health programme
One of GDS funded programmes is to present education to rural women. The Gorkha Womens Association organised this programme and 7 women and a driver squashed into a 5 seater jeep to head to the rural area of Asrang, Gorkha!
Here the women held a programme on women’s health for the Muslim community in the village, discussing many female health problems and family planning. Much needed in this community with some women having up to 17 children!
A really positive day, with the women openly questioning and gaining persoanla advice thanks to Dr Suchika and her assistant Sabita for providing the experitse.
