“I have worked with Feedback and Ny Tanintsika for 15 years. I have been trained as a volunteer health educator and family planning provider, as well as tuberculosis educator and adult literacy teacher. My knowledge has increased greatly on all the issues they have trained me on; both myself and my community have become healthier thanks to the health programs. Women are now much better informed about family planning options and we no longer have so many women who are just pregnant all the time! My local community is now much better informed on all issues mainly thanks to the literacy program. We have come together and really started to work together as a team to improve our village. We all take part in the communal work, people will now come into the village from their homes out near the fields to be able to take part in the community work. My status in the village has improved; I am now much better respected; in fact some people will only carry out community initiative requests when asked by me!”
