Organizing Local Health Nonprofit Organizations for Action

Community Health Workers organize and support local Nonprofit Organizations to address local needs and support national programs

Every national health program relies on local Nonprofit Organizations and local Community Health Workers to supply needed woman and manpower to organize and implement national health initiatives at the grass roots level.

People in rural villages depend on local private sector healthcare providers for their regular health needs. Without these local health related nonprofit organizations many rural communities would need to travel to large towns or cities for simple medications and health services.

Leaders meet and learn from one another’s experience and replicate successful solutions to the challenges of community-based health organizing.

These local organizations have conducted health awareness camps funded by UNICEF, participated in the national polio eradication program and assisted in the development and implementation of a USAID funded program for training CHWs in Family Planning and STD prevention and treatment.

Grassroots capacity building requires a long-term commitment and continued education. The results are self-sufficient self-supporting community run programs responsive to their communities.
