TWA proposes to conduct training camps that will focus on safe reproductive health care practices.
The tribal poor, due to poverty, resort to this practice of marriage of young teen age girls in order to have one more bread winning member in the family. These young mothers, they themselves being teen age girls, go through this ordeal of marriage at an early age, withstand the trauma of early pregnancy and finally end up with a painful process of delivery. Moreover, these hilly regions lack good health care facilities and make the lives of these young mothers all the more risky and unsafe.
TWA proposes to conduct training camps in all the 76 tribal villages in the Pachamalai hills in order to educate the tribal people of good and safe reproductive health care practices.
TWA will create an awareness of safe reproductive practices among the tribal of pachamalai hills thereby avoiding teen age marriages. This programme will be subsequently implemented in this region which will benefit other tribal communities.
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
