Community Mobilization

This is done mainly through our community mobiliser within various communities, the mobiliser can adopt a different technique to gather the women during outreach days, but the most common is door-to-door mobilisation. Clergymen and traditional rulers also do passive mobilisation by informing their members/subjects days before our arrival. Apart from mobilisation, community mobilisers help women access skilled health services in their community and often act as a linkage between our team and the community members. Additionally, they support community dwellers to access professional health care when needed.
