Capacity building and Sensitizing of Community Health Workers:There
have not been any specific clinics in selected areas for
the young peoples’ health needs and capacity building of
community health volunteers, youth clubs and women groups and networks
on right to health and free basic reproductive and sexual health
services.
Accordingly, we help in providing training and
different relevant information about the relevant reproductive and
sexual health services in the different rural areas of Nepal. We have
conducted about 80 different relevant campaigns.
Establishment of Information Centers about the sexual and reproductive health:Most
of the youth are not aware about the issues of sexual and reproductive
health. They have been in the stigma of different sexual and
reproductive diseases and are psychologically and socially frustrated.
So to reduce the information gap and help the youth acquire relevant and
updated information about the concerned issues we have helped in making
three information centers in different VDCs.We did this with the
coordination of District Health Office.
Linking PLHA and recovering drug users to group business set up after rehabilitation:
Most
of the PLHA and recovering drug users are in dilemma after the
counseling and rehabilitation programs. They are given different
orientations and life skills but they are not given any engagement
programs so that they can set up a new dignified profession and life. As
they are not able to have the basis they are frustrated and the
recovering drug users are prone to getting in to drugs again. So, to
bring them in the process of new life and set up their enterprise for a
motivated life, we coordinate them for different entrepreneurial
orientations and group skill trainings. We also give the best idea some
initiative funds to start the venture in group or mange the fund.
Motivational and Counseling Orientation for PLWHA and Recovering Drug Users:It
is an orientation project for People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and
recovering Drug Users. This project is focused on HIV/AIDS control and
care of people living with HIV/AIDS in the region. Apart from this, it
will integrate the group most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS infection- young
people and provide awareness and education regarding the HIV/AIDS and
its prevention measures. More precisely, the project will focus towards
empowering the PLWHA and Drug Users through providing knowledge, skills
development training.
Media Campaign for HIV/AIDS Prevention:Alternatives
has launched different awareness activities through the local
F.M./Radio. This project especially focuses towards the mass public
awareness and eliminating the misconception and withholding taboos
regarding the HIV/AIDS and contraceptive measures. Likewise, under the
project we have conducted the phone-in programs through radio/F.M with
expertise to address the queries of the individuals. In addition to it
the program is more interesting through inviting the recovered drug
users to share their experiences.
