Remote Son La province grapples with pressing challenges surrounding adolescent health, including early marriage and high rates of adolescent pregnancy.

Child marriage is still commonly practiced in Kalikot, where nearly 40% of girls aged 15-19 are already married. HealthBridge is working in this region with our partner International Nepal Fellowship (INF) to improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes in the community.

Imagine a journey where your senses guide you through the rich tapestry of history, where every step reveals a different element of the city.

There is often a lack of knowledge and awareness about good nutrition and its impact on health. In this context, food demonstrations are a way to educate and empower individuals and communities.

Due to an unfortunate tendency to prioritize the comfort and safety of cars over children, there is abundant car parking in Dhaka, especially in residential buildings, but an extremely inadequate supply of parks, playing fields, and other outdoor spaces for children to play and those of other ages to gather and socialize.

The SRHR in Dhaka project is being implemented in underserved urban areas of Dhaka where the community faces high rates of poverty, early marriage, and challenges accessing SRH services. Socio-cultural barriers contribute to difficulties for women and girls to advocate for themselves, particularly regarding sexual and reproductive health.

HealthBridge Foundation and International Nepal Fellowship support the Mothers Groups in Khandachakra by providing training and educational materials for FCHVs to ensure they have the understanding and skills to improve health outcomes for women and children in the community.

The "Improving SRHR in Dhaka" project, with its youth-led initiatives, aims to empower more young people to dismantle barriers and make informed decisions about SRH.

HealthBridge Vietnam, together with the Son La Province Centre for Disease Control (CDC), organized a two-day capacity building workshop related to safe and consensual sex, contraception methods, sexually transmitted infections, gender equality, pregnancy, and proper use and disposal of contraceptives.
