Training at Home: Accessible and Flexible Learning
Our offline training modules are designed to fit seamlessly into the daily lives of potential CHWs. By using digital tools that require no internet connectivity, we ensure that even in the most remote areas, our trainees can learn and grow without leaving their responsibilities.
Envisioning the Impact of 10,000 Trained Health Workers
By adding 10,000 skilled CHWs to the workforce over the next four years, we aim to dramatically improve maternal health and early childhood development services across rural communities, ensuring that every mother and child receives the care they need.
Strengthening Community Health Infrastructure
The increase in trained CHWs means a growing demand for better-equipped health posts. FOHSEN supports these enhancements, while empowering communities to lead their own healthcare improvements, ensuring sustainable and locally-driven care solutions.
