RAIN WORKER TRAINING

beginner workshop

In a 5‑day begin­ner work­shop the par­ti­ci­pants, who alrea­dy work in the social, edu­ca­ti­on or medi­cal field, learn core con­tent regar­ding fami­ly plan­ning and sexu­al and repro­duc­ti­ve health. Our trai­ners are gynae­co­lo­gists who vol­un­teer to share their know­ledge and have been pre­vious­ly trai­ned them­sel­ves as Rain Workers. Our work­shops are orga­ni­zed in coö­pe­ra­ti­on with local NGOs.
We pro­vi­de a work­shop fol­der that has been deve­lo­ped for indi­vi­du­als as edu­ca­tio­nal mate­ri­al, and is avail­ab­le in Eng­lish, French and Ara­bic. Depen­ding on spe­ci­fic needs, our work­shop mate­ri­als can also be trans­la­ted into other local languages.

IMPLEMENTATION

Cer­ti­fied Rain Workers are gran­ted a 12-mon­th sti­pend, and in return agree to con­duct two or more out­re­ach ses­si­ons a mon­th that help edu­ca­te and inform mem­bers of their com­mu­ni­ty regar­ding fami­ly plan­ning and health. Rain Workers orga­ni­ze ses­si­ons in schools, youth groups, neigh­bour­hood mee­tings, health cen­tres, and work with reli­gious insti­tu­ti­ons, women’s and men’s groups, street child­ren, teena­ge mothers, HIV sup­port groups, and Uncut Girls Groups. Our Rain Workers are requi­red to sub­mit mon­th­ly reports to Akti­on Regen, so that we can deter­mi­ne how we can best pro­vi­de sup­port and adapt the trai­ning cur­ri­cu­lum with con­si­de­ra­ti­on to local social and cul­tu­ral cus­toms and ways of communicating.
