We conducted refresher trainings for 92 health activists who are currently working in Bhetua, Shahgarh, Gauriganj, Singpur, Gaura, and Dalmau blocks. And, 42 new health activists received the 3-day induction training in Kurwar and Chatoh blocks in Sultanpur and Raebareli districts of Uttar Pradesh.
We expanded to two new districts with the help of local NGOs, who wanted to add a health care component to their existing activities. 49 women attended the 3-day induction training in Chikballapur district of Karnataka and 31 women attended the induction training in Mijwan in Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. We are closely monitoring the progress in the new districts to validate the applicability of our program.
As of the end of February 2010, our activists are working in more than 700 villages in five districts of Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka. We plan to expand our work to more villages of these districts and consolidate our work for the rest of 2010.
