This inspiring story of empowerment and change showcases the incredible impact of dedicated women like Amina Bibi, who are bridging the gap between traditional practices and modern healthcare.

Amina Bibi, a newly trained Lady Health Supervisor in the village of Gojal, faced a significant challenge when she began her work. Her mission was to improve the health of mothers and children in a community deeply rooted in traditional practices.”When I first started visiting homes, many families were skeptical. They didn’t understand why they needed to change their ways,” Amina recalls.Despite initial resistance, Amina’s determination and patience paid off. She used her training to explain the benefits of modern healthcare practices while respecting local customs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1731454833865{background-color: #cd1d5a !important;}” el_class=”skinny”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Your donation can help train more lady health supervisors like Amina and save lives in rural communities” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_btn title=”Donate Today” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:%23donatebox|title:2024%20Fall%20Campaign%20Donation”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”11652″ img_size=”Full” alignment=”center” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””]
