A CONTINUUM OF CARE APPROACH

Continuum of care means helping moms and kids from when they’re born to when they’re grown ups. We want to stop the cycle of health problems passing from one generation to the next. By taking care of moms, newborns, and children, we can make sure everyone grows up healthy and strong.
Sure, here’s a simplified version of the provided information, broken down into easy-to-understand points:

Pregnancy

- Helping moms and newborns get better care.
- Making sure high-risk pregnancies get special attention.
- Making it easier for moms to have their babies in hospitals.
- Making sure newborns get all their shots and only breastfeed.

Birth

- Encouraging moms to have their babies in hospitals.
- Making sure all babies get their shots.
- Encouraging moms to breastfeed only.

Childhood

- Finding and fixing when kids don't have enough food.
- Teaching people how to give better care to kids.
- Making sure kids get all the help they need.

Adolescence

- Teaching teenagers about food, making babies, and treating each other fairly.
- Training young people to help their communities.
- Making sure teenagers can handle their feelings well.

Adulthood

- Helping communities fight against violence towards women.
- Giving mental and legal help to women who face violence.
- Teaching people about family planning so they can choose when to have babies.

The Human Rights Awakening Team cares about making things fair for everyone, especially girls and women. We work on this in all our programs because it's a big reason why some people don't get good healthcare. When girls and women are treated unfairly, it makes it hard for everyone to be healthy. So, we make sure to help fix this unfairness in everything we do.

Our Focus Areas

The Human Rights Awakening Team helps neighborhoods and public health systems in cities. We use what we know works to solve health problems. Our focus is on making sure everyone can be healthy, especially those who need extra help. We use facts to create plans that really make a difference in city life.

Maternal and Child Health

We help moms and kids stay healthy by working with neighborhoods. Our goal is to tackle health and food issues starting from pregnancy all the way to when kids grow up. We’re here for every step of the journey.

Public System and Partnership

We team up with public systems to make services better for communities that need more support. Together, we make sure everyone gets the help they need.

Empowerment, Health and Sexuality of Adolescents

We help teenagers be healthier and happier. We also create places where teenagers feel comfortable getting the healthcare they need.

Prevention of Violence Against Women and Children

We team up with communities and public systems to stop and deal with gender-based violence in a complete way.
