Training & Capacity Building

Equipping the People Who Show Up First

We train community health workers, peer educators, and frontline providers to deliver accurate, compassionate reproductive health support where it’s needed most.

Overview

In many underserved Nigerian communities, the first person someone turns to about a reproductive health concern isn’t a doctor. It’s a community health worker, a peer educator, a religious leader, or another trusted community figure. Our Training & Capacity Building Program equips these frontline voices with accurate, up-to-date knowledge and practical skills so they can deliver reliable reproductive health support and referrals within their own communities, multiplying our reach far beyond what our team could achieve alone.

Why It Matters

Misinformation spreads fastest through trusted community channels, which means those same channels can also be the fastest way to spread accurate information, if the people delivering it are properly equipped. Many community health workers and volunteers are motivated and trusted, but have never received formal training on fertility awareness, maternal health, cervical cancer prevention, or disability-inclusive care. Investing in their capacity means every training we deliver multiplies into dozens, sometimes hundreds, of better-informed community conversations.

What We Do

• Community Health Worker Training — Structured curricula covering fertility awareness, maternal health, cervical cancer prevention, and referral pathways.
• Peer Educator Programs — Training young people and community volunteers to lead reproductive health conversations among their peers.
• Healthcare Provider Workshops — Continuing education sessions for clinic staff on respectful, evidence-based, and disability-inclusive reproductive care.
• Train-the-Trainer Model — Building a sustainable network of local trainers who can extend our curriculum long after our team has moved on to the next community.
• Resource & Toolkit Development — Printed and digital training materials, facilitator guides, and community education toolkits.
• Monitoring & Mentorship — Ongoing support and refresher training for previously trained community workers.

Who We Serve

Community health workers and volunteers, peer educators and youth leaders, clinic and hospital staff, religious and traditional community leaders, and partner NGOs seeking training support for their own teams.

Our Approach

1. Assess — Identify the specific training needs of a community or partner organization.
2. Train — Deliver structured, practical workshops led by qualified facilitators.
3. Equip — Provide toolkits and reference materials trainees can use long after the session ends.
