HEALTH & WELLNESS
Objectives:
-
To improve women's general health and wellbeing, including the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity rates, through education and discussion.
-
To improve girls' health and wellbeing through adolescence and into adulthood by providing girls with opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports and other activities.
Although Cambodia has already seen impressive gains in women’s health in the last 10 years, women still suffer from malnutrition, stress and basic illnesses. PRD aims to promote healthy, positive behaviors in adolescent girls by providing practical and relevant information on the health issues they will face as they become young women. Girls will better understand their bodies and make more informed choices about their physical and psychological health. The project will also provide girls with opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities such as sports and active play. PRD will cooperate with Provincial Referral Hospital, Health Centre, and relevant agencies in Battambang (Samlout) and Pailin to deliver the activities to the communities.
