Sharing helps!
Every community in the district where Vajra Nepal is active has a mother group. All mothers of the village are part of it. In total there are about 72. One of these mothers is appointed as a Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV).
She organises the mother group meetings and gives basic information about hygiene, health, pregnancy, birth control, first aid and so on. All these FCHV are trained by Vajra. They become more aware of the problem of prolaps and of a possible solution. They motivate other women to talk about their problem and ask for proper care. The volunteers also motivate the young mothers to take better care of themselves during pregnancy to prevent problems in the future: proper food, birth control and professional care during pregnancy and delivery. You see some of these activities in the pictures above.
The mother groups are becoming more and more important for the emancipation of women. Some of them have setup their own micro-credit program and are now doing small business, like goat rearing, agriculture and sewing, without interference of their husbands.
With your support of this project on Pifworld we can develop the situation further. So thank you and play it forward!

Nepali women
Mothers in Nepal are vulnerable, socially as well as physically. They work hard and they are the ones that take care of the children. Mostly they don�t get proper care during pregnancy and delivery. If women get many children, have a difficult delivery and do not get proper food during pregnanc: they have a big chance to suffer from uterine prolaps afterwards.
Uterine prolaps is the condition in which the muscles and tissues of the uterus are damaged. Women in this situation encounter difficulties: because there is a taboo on these kind of affections, women feel very ashamed and do not want to talk about it, often not even with their husband. Socially they can easily get isolated. There is a rather simple and very effective operation to help these women!
With your support we can cure these mom�s physically and improve their self image mentally.

Mothergroup gathering under a tree.
The meeting place of this mothergroup is under the old tree in the center of the village. The women gather there at leats once a month and discuss different health topics.
The last five years, Vajra Nepal and Vajra Holland have supported this old structure of meetings. They have educated one mother as a volunteer, so she can educate the other women. Topics are mostly sanitation and hygiene, but also other topics like child care. Safe delevery is also an imoprtant issue of dicussion during these sessions.

What a Mothergroup entails:
This is a group of women (a so called Mothergroup) from a small village near the Tibetan border. They gather together regulary to discuss health problems together.
During these meetings the women exhange ideas, fears and thoughts. Moreover, the women are motivated to ask for help for problems like uterine prolaps (for which they will get surgery with this project on Pifworld.
These kind of issues are not very easy for women to talk about. Because of social stigmas and culture they are not used to discussed such things. Often they are ashamed about it. These groups try to create an atmosphere so that this and similar subjects can be discussed.

Women power!
Hi Players,
We, the Vajra foundation, are content that our project "Improve a mom's life" is on Pifworld; because this project is incredibly important. Let us tell you a bit more about the situation:
This project on Pifworld will get several women the opportunity to get a surgery to cure their uterine prolapse.
The inconvenience of this wound is a severe handicap for women. The most common cause is due to difficult deleveries or too may children. WIth a surgery their lives can be improved and it can make all the diefference. Only, women are very ashamed and do not talk about it easily. It is not the most common project when you think about charity as well. But that defenitely does not mean it is less urgent or important!
The Vajra organisation is already doing health education program in this area for more then 5 yeras. Only recently women start talking about it more freely. Female volunteers who live in the villages, asked the organisation for support for their fellow mothers. So we are making progress already.
Thanks for supporting us to improve it further!
