Conscious Connections Foundation (Ganesh Himal Trading’s Non-Profit), exists to help girls and women in Nepal thrive! To do that we partner with trusted Nepali partners to identify the most pressing issues they face and collaborate on how to address them.
When asked about issues in the remote area of Sertung, where CCF has done several years of Menstrual Hygiene Training, key area leaders responded that they felt basic emergency first aid training was vital. This part of Nepal is very remote and medical help is far away so its important for village leaders to learn to stabilize and treat injuries that might otherwise become serious and life threatening.
CCF Menstrual hygiene trainer Pema Tamang, a local Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) identified 9 village health care volunteers and 10 teachers from 6 remote villages surrounding Sertung. Pema felt these community leaders would have the best ability to learn the techniques and spread the information to impact the most people. Once the trainees were identified, CCF funded a 3 day intensive training, with Pema and a local midwife Pratina Tamang as the instructors. The attendees learned everything from how to wrap sprains and perform CPR to identifying potential problems in pregnancy and tending to bites. Upon completion of the training each participant was then given a basic first aid kit for their community and funds for replenishing them. The training plus the kits and food came to less than $25 a day per person.
CCF is happy to report that this first aid training was a great success. The response to the training was so positive that CCF is considering doing further, more in depth trainings for these villagers in the future. One woman, Gyalmo Tamang, a teacher in Chalis who attended the training was so excited about this program that she had her students actively learning first aid in her classroom only a few days later. In all Pema felt the training of these 19 village leaders could impact up to 900 individuals in these remote villages.
This happened because of you and your continued support of CCF’s work in Nepal. Thank you!
