AIL has always had healthcare and health education at the core of its programming. Women need to know about their bodies and how to stay healthy most especially when pregnant and caring for newborns. AIL runs health education sessions for all those visiting the clinics as well as giving reproductive health workshops. So far in 2016, there have been 6 multi day reproductive health workshops for 180 women and 4  3 hour long expectant mother workshops for 38 pregnant women and 38 helpers. These women are the lucky ones as they are now equiped with the knowledge of what to expect and how to detect problems. Many will choose the safer option of an clinic birth rather than the risky home birth without trained attendants. Here is one story:

"When I gave birth to a weak and sick son, my mother in law didn’t let me to feed him with my breast milk. She believed that the first milk at the beginning is dirty and  you should throw them away! I did what they said. After three days that I got permission to feed my son with breast – milk, he refused to drink it. Therefore, he is being fed with cow's milk. He always had constipation and stomachache. As the safety system of his body was weak he was sick all the time." did not know why he is crying all the time. After participating in this workshop, I have known the benefit of breast milk. I never feed my baby cow's milk as I have learnt it can harm the stomach."

Thank you for your support.
