AWARENESS SESSION IN KÉROU: SYKA-NGO Educates Young Mothers on Family Planning
The Gori Bara neighborhood in the Kérou district hosted a crucial awareness session on family planning for young mothers. Initiated by SYKA-NGO, this activity aims to break down taboos and empower these young women to take control of their reproductive lives.
The future of young mothers also depends on controlling their fertility. This was the powerful message conveyed by SYKA-NGO during the awareness session it organized last week in Gori Bara, a neighborhood in the Kérou district. Faced with the rise in early and unwanted pregnancies, the organization stepped up to provide concrete solutions and close support to this vulnerable group.
Gathered at the organization’s invitation, several dozen young mothers were able to freely exchange ideas with experts from SYKA-ONG and healthcare professionals. In an atmosphere of attentive listening and support, the trainers addressed the various methods of contraception, the importance of spacing births, and the positive impact of family planning on the health of mothers and children.
For these young women, often having left school prematurely or facing significant economic hardship, this training provided by SYKA-ONG is a true lifeline. « Many of us know nothing about contraceptive methods or are afraid of rumors. Thanks to this training from the NGO, we have a clearer understanding and can make informed decisions about our future, » confided one participant, her baby in her arms.
Beyond the medical aspects, the SYKA-ONG trainers emphasized the empowerment of the participants. By avoiding closely spaced and unwanted pregnancies, these young mothers give themselves the opportunity to pursue vocational training or engage in income-generating activities.
The community leaders present commended SYKA-ONG’s commitment on the ground and urged the organization to expand these campaigns to other districts of Kérou. Thanks to this targeted action, the first step has been taken in Gori Bara: women are speaking out, and these young mothers are leaving with the necessary tools to take control of their lives.
