INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

We encourage individuals to share their life experiences with us so as to identify their unique challenges. During individual meetings, everyone, especially women and girls with disabilities, are encouraged to ask questions which they may be uncomfortable asking in a group meeting. These questions typically focus on Reproductive health and HIV/AIDS., Through these individual discussions, people with disabilities often identify other people in their communities, enabling us to contact with them and widen our scope of influence.


Reproductive health and  HIV/AIDS

Women with disabilities are not only less likely to receive general information on sexual and reproductive health and are less likely to have access to family planning services but, should they become pregnant, they are less likely than their non-disabled peers to have access to prenatal, labor and delivery and post-natal services.

It is the right of girls and women with disabilities to be informed of and have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choice. It is also their right to have access to appropriate health care services, enabling women to experience safe pregnancy and childbirth, and providing couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.

We are committed to providing effective and appropriate counsel, care, and support to disabled women and children living with HIV-AIDS.
