Dear Friends,
This has been such a difficult 12 months, more so for children with disabilities globally.
Despite these difficult circumstances, MAITS continues to support children with disabilities and we're delighted to say our online Master Training programmes have been incredibly successful working in partnership internationally.
We know that children with cerebral palsy can often develop infections which result in malnutrition and even premature death. By learning simple techniques around feeding and positioning, professionals and caregivers are best equipped to meet the needs of their child
MAITS has just finished second phase of our Community Healthworker Programme in partnership with Centre for Rehabiliation of Paralysed (CRP) Bangladesh in June 2021.
In our second phase of training there were a total of 20 trainees!
A total of 15 participants were parents/caregivers and 5 were community healthworkers. This highly participatory model ensures a legacy of skills sharing and peer support well beyond the lifetime of the project. The fact that we have also just translated the model into Bangla means that this is only the beginning of our longer term partnership.
In spite of all the challenges, we are hugely excited about this prospect.
MAITS is hugely grateful for all your support at this time. We look forward to updating you in the near future on the progress of our community healthworkers and parents.
