TESTIMONIALS

Member Nyankwazi VBC

Previously, community members used to flock the heath center after noticing a truck delivering medicines. However, to their disappointment sometimes they could not find the medicines like anti-malarial and anti-biotics. Community members used to assume that every time a medicine-truck comes to the health center, it delivers everything. Its until we started inviting them to observe the medicines delivered that they started appreciating that not all medicines were being delivered every time the truck came. Sometimes the medicine-truck used to deliver mama kits, condoms, and other sundries without the most sought medicines.

It’s an embarrassment today to have domestic violence in any of the homes of the VBC members. The VBC members have made several improvements in their homes including ensuring that they are food secure. Our councillor is also very active. She mobilizes us and takes our views and returns to update us on what is happening at the district. This good flow of information has improved accountability and feedback on government programs in Nyankwazi sub county

Julius Balokooha

From Our Community

It hasn't been easy to work with the women leaders at the lower levels. Majority have not received any training on leadership and do not even necessarily believe that women and girls rights can be at the top of the agenda. This made me appreciate FOWODE even more for training women councillors.
