tailieunhanh - Improving Reproductive Health through Community-Based Services: 25 Years of Pathfinder International Experience

Before meeting Margaret and Mama Lomayani, Maria would go to church and cry all day. But now, “They have given me hope,” she says. Maria braids hair and washes her neighbor’s clothes to earn money, but it is difficult to make ends meet. Mama Lomayani is helping Maria obtain a small loan to buy shampoo and oils to sell and to expand her hair-braiding business. She also hopes to sell jewelry and other small items to her clients. This money will go straight into a bank account to pay for her son’s future school fees. Margaret volunteers as a community health worker because she doesn’t want to see others. | V PATHFINDER INTERNATIONAL Improving Reproductive Health through Community-Based Services 25 Years of Pathfinder International Experience ỊẳỗỊ Pathfinder INTERNATIONAL Pathfinder International believes that reproductive health is a basic human right.
