Major Activities
- Activity 2
- International programs: uganda child spacing program an average ugandan woman will have 7 children in her lifetime. A lack of knowledge about and access to family planning services contributes to this high fertility, which leads to high rates of maternal and infant mortality. There is a high unmet need for family planning services in uganda. Wellshare international addressed these health issues through several usaid funded flexible fund projects (2006-2008 and extensions received in 2009, 2010, and 2011) which integrated several program strategies: educating and mobilizing communities by conducting outreaches throughout villages in two districts; training family planning community health workers, and working through family planning implementation teams; and building the capacity of public and private providers, all to improve family planning knowledge, access, and quality of services. The programs, implemented in ssembabule and mubende districts in south-central uganda. Major achievements over the life of project include an increase of cyp across both districts from 2,726.52 in 2007 to 17,789.29 in 2011(total cyp of 47,241.69). A total of 428,099 beneficiaries were reached (34,856 counseled; 308,892 reached through health talks, 11,936 via family planning outreaches, 15,870 via film shows, 1,063 with community-based distribution of dmpa, and 51,887 through other special events and radio messages). Users of contraception increased dramatically, from 6,942 new users in 2007 to 21,429 in 2010. In 2011, there were 34,681 total users of modern and natural methods alone. Wellshare started a new flexible fund program in march 2012, to train community health workers in community-based distribution of injectable contraceptives and to assist other organizations in scaling up their efforts to do the same. To date, the project has trained 48 village health team members and provided technical assistance (through a structured learning visit and other technical assistance) to four organizations around setting up community-based family planning programs. Wellshare hosted a 'lessons learned' meeting for 31 national family planning stakeholders which focused on scaling up community based access to injectable contraceptives. Uganda hiv/aids program wellshare international completed the partnering for positive livelihoods program (pplp) started in december 2008 with funding from pepf ariusaid in february 2012. The program, located in ssembabule and mubende districts of uganda's central region, worked to improve hiv/aids care and prevention services through collaboration with six local organizations. The three strategic objectives included: 1) increasing the capacity of faith/community-based organizations (f/cbos) to provide care and support activities to pha and ovc through twinning partnerships; 2) promoting behavior change that reduces new hiv infections by implementing abstinence-only and other sexual prevention activities, 3) reaching eligible adults and children with "umbrella" care services, including home- based care, psychosocial support, nutrition and agriculture support and legal/human rights advocacy. A key crosscutting objective is to strengthen linkages among care, prevention and treatment programs. Wellshare achieved all of its pepf ar targets over the life of project. Among the project achievements, wellshare and five f/cbo partners reached a cumulative 11,143 adults living with hiv/aids adults and orphans and vulnerable children with a core package of home based care, nutrition and psychosocial support services through home visits by 601 trained volunteer community caregivers, supervised by 77 trained trainers of trainers (tots). A total of 1,455 orphans and vulnerable children received school uniforms and supplies and 8,405 home based care kits were provided to people living with hiv/aids households and community caregivers.

| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 0 | RESOURCES TO THE SOMALI COMMUNITY AND TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. PRIMARY ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: 1) HOME VISITS AND COMMUNITY DIALOGUES CONDUCTED BY SOMALI COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWS) TO DISCUSS AND EDUCATE ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF CHILD SPACING AND REFERRALS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES; 2) DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF VARIOUS REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH MATERIALS; AND 3) IN-SERVICE TRAININGS AND COMMUNITY FORUMS FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATORS, AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICE PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH SOMALIS. IN 2012 THE SOMALI CHILD SPACING PROGRAM EXPANDED ITS EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH TO MEN BY CONTINUING TO EMPLOY A MALE CHW. THE PROJECT DISSEMINATED THOUSANDS OF COPIES OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND MATERIALS TO LOCAL COMMUNITY AGENCIES, HOSPITALS AND CLINICS, INCLUDING AN ANNUAL SOMALI HEALTH CALENDAR. THE CALENDARS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO OVER 6,000 SOMALI COMMUNITY MEMBERS. THE PROJECT ALSO EXPLORED FAMILY PLANNING PRACTICES IN A NEW REFUGEE COMMUNITY - THE KAREN COMMUNITY FROM BURMA. PROGRAMMING IS PLANNED TO BEGIN IN THE KAREN COMMUNITY STARTING IN THE SUMMER OF 2013. SMOKE FREE RIVERSIDE PLAZA RIVERSIDE PLAZA IS THE LARGEST MULTI-UNIT HOUSING FACILITY IN THE MIDWEST, AND IS HOME TO MORE THAN 6,000 PEOPLE, 70% OF WHOM ARE ETHNIC SOMALIS. IN 2011, WITH FUNDING FROM THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS, WELLSHARE WORKED WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND RESIDENTS OF RIVERSIDE PLAZA TO PASS SMOKE FREE POLICY FOR THE ENTIRE COMPLEX. IN 2012 WELLSHARE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND RESIDENTS OF RIVERSIDE PLAZA TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SMOKE-FREE POLICY AT THE BEGINNING OF 2013. WELLSHARE DID THIS BY CREATING A VIDEO EXPLAINING THE HARMFULNESS OF SECOND HAND SMOKE AND THE SMOKE-FREE POLICY WHICH WAS BROADCAST THROUGH THE COMPLEX'S CLOSED CIRCUIT TV. IN ADDITION, WELLSHARE ORGANIZED A RESIDENT MEETING AND DISTRIBUTED INFORMATION ON DETAILS OF THE POLICY AND SMOKING CESSATION RESOURCES AT THE COMPLEX. IN 2013, WELLSHARE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT RIVERSIDE PLAZA AFTER THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SMOKE-FREE POLICY HAS BEGUN, BY PROMOTING SMOKING CESSATION RESOURCES AND OFFERING THE FREEDOM FROM SMOKING PROGRAM ON SITE, AND CONDUCTING A SURVEY TO ASSESS RESIDENT REACTIONS TO THE POLICY. MINNEAPOLIS STATEWIDE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAM WELLSHARE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS TO PROMOTE HEALTHY RESOURCES IN NORTHEAST NEIGHBORHOODS OF MINNEAPOLIS TO INCREASE ACCESS BY EAST AFRICAN RESIDENTS IN THE AREA. IN 2012, WELLSHARE HELPED THREE CORNER STORES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CARRY FRESH PRODUCE, AND CREATED A LIST OF HEALTHY RESOURCES INCLUDING THE CORNER STORES, FARMERS MARKETS, FOOD SHELVES, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RESOURCES, SMOKING CESSATION SERVICES, AND CLINICS THAT OFFER PREVENTIVE CARE. IN 2013, WELLSHARE WILL CONTINUE TO CONNECT THE EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY TO THESE RESOURCES BY HOLDING TOURS, EVENTS, AND DEVELOPING A VIDEO TO PROMOTE THEM. HENNEPIN COUNTY SMOKE-FREE MULTI-UNIT HOUSING WELLSHARE WORKED TO PROMOTE SMOKE-FREE POLICY IN MULTI-UNIT HOUSING IN HOPKINS AND EDEN PRAIRIE, TWO SUBURBS/CITIES WEST OF MINNEAPOLIS. WELLSHARE DID THIS BY FINDING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WHERE MANY SOMALIS LIVE IN THESE TWO CITIES, CONNECTING WITH MANAGEMENT STAFF AND SOMALI RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVES AT THESE BUILDINGS, AND WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE ASSOCIATION FOR NON-SMOKERS OF MINNESOTA. MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ASTHMA PROJECT WELLSHARE SUPPORTED MDH'S ASTHMA PROGRAM, FUNDED BY HUD, BY RECRUITING CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA FROM SECTION 8 HOUSING, MANY OF THEM SOMALIS, TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. ONCE ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM, FAMILIES RECEIVED HOME VISITS BY A NURSE, WHO EDUCATED THEM ABOUT SELF-MANAGEMENT OF ASTHMA, ASSESSED THEIR HOME ENVIRONMENT FOR POTENTIAL TRIGGERS OF ASTHMA, SUGGESTED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, AND PROVIDED PRODUCTS SUCH AS AN AIR PURIFIER, BED AND PILLOW ENCASEMENTS, AND AN ALLERGEN VACUUM CLEANER TO HELP REDUCE ASTHMA TRIGGERS IN THE HOME.
