APROSADSE’s initiative to work with traditional midwives helps empower women. Many women in indigenous communities are wary of modern medical institutions or lack access to effective care. Midwives have been instrumental to community health and continue to be.
APROSADSE provides midwives with minor surgery equiptment and medical supplies and ongoing training. With contributions from generous donoers, 65 kits were assembled in San Martin Jilotepeque and distributed to each of the midwives.
In addition, 30 women are training as Nutritional Conselors for communities in need. Since women are often limited in their access to good nutrition, especially as new mothers, these Counselors will be instrumental in educating families and women.
Thank you for your generous contributions. Initiatives like this one depend upon them.
