We use existing women’s groups in churches to provide health and nutrition training. Women learn about their own health, breastfeeding, family nutrition, and good child-feeding practices, and are trained to become peer supporters within their communities.
The groups provide a safe space for women to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another. Health education is combined with biblical teaching, helping women see their role as peer supporters as part of their Christian ministry.
Weekly sessions cover practical topics such as breastfeeding, nutritious foods, reproductive health, and HIV. We use interactive activities and simple resources, including demonstrations, food-sorting activities, and visual teaching aids, to encourage participation and practical learning.
Each group also runs a VICOBA savings group, which helps women save together and encourages regular attendance.
