STAKEHOLDERS MEETING

Even as IRHIN is winding up, the Programme Officers have continued to meet with Evbuotubu community stakeholders. Letters have been sent out seeking their supports. Top on our priority is sustainability of the project and CBO formation

ACHIEVEMENTS

The people of Evbuotubu have gained alot due to IRHIN this is evident in the following areas

1. Knowledge impact: one out of three people in Evbuotubu have heard the IRHIN message, know about FP product and services. This is a big achievement compared to the myth and misconception the people had before the onset of the project. Husbands are more supportive of their wives and some other times initiate FP for their family.
2. Number of people referred: There has been tremendous increase in the number of people referred. Since this project began, a total number of 558 were referred throughout this project compared to what was obtainable prior to this project.
3. Those that accessed FP method and services: Before IRHIN field work began in December only two people was referred to the PHC for FP services but as at this month of October a total number of 237 people accessed services throughout the project.

HUMAN INTEREST STORY

Mrs. Osatohanmwen of No. 4 Ehiwe Street in Evbuotubu Community met our ipc mr edurance aiyeki on the 18^th of this month said that she was into self medication of the daily pills. I counseled her on the need to have her examined by an FP specialist before she can adopt any of the FP method available. Feeling uneasy because of the mistake she had made, I referred her to see the matron at the health centre for critical examination and further counseling. Today she is happy knowing that everything is under control. She equally thanked SFH/ACD for this timely intervention. She is now in charge of herself , she now knows her true fp statues and confident that she is on the right course
