PROJECT REPORT: FAMILY PLANNING CLASS FOR HUMANIST WOMEN

Organized at Hope Humanist Pharmacy, Chad

Introduction

On 15th march 2025, a family planning class was successfully held at the Hope Humanist Pharmacy in Chad, targeting humanist women in the community. This initiative aimed to educate participants on reproductive health, birth control methods, and the importance of informed family planning decisions. The program was made possible through the generous funding of HuMAN, to whom we extend our deepest gratitude.

Objectives of the Program

The primary objectives of the session were:

  • To provide comprehensive education on family planning and reproductive health.

  • To empower women with knowledge about contraception options.

  • To promote safe practices and informed decision-making regarding family planning.

  • To distribute essential contraceptives, including condoms and morning-after pills.

Participation and Engagement

A total of 32 women attended the session, representing different backgrounds and experiences. The session was interactive, with discussions on various topics such as:

  • The importance of family planning in improving women's health and economic stability.

  • Different methods of contraception, including hormonal and non-hormonal options.

  • The correct use of condoms and emergency contraception (morning-after pills).

  • Addressing myths and misconceptions about birth control.

The women actively participated, asking questions and sharing their personal experiences. Many expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn about reproductive health in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Distribution of Contraceptives

At the end of the session, participants received free condoms and morning-after pills to help them practice safe contraception. These materials were provided to ensure that women had immediate access to reliable birth control methods following the program.

Acknowledgment and Gratitude

This impactful program would not have been possible without the generous support of HuMAN. Their funding and commitment to women's health and reproductive rights enabled us to successfully organize the session and provide valuable resources to the participants.

We also extend our appreciation to the team at Hope Humanist Pharmacy for hosting the event and to the facilitators who provided expert guidance during the session.

Conclusion and Future Plans

The success of this program highlights the need for continuous education on family planning and reproductive health among women in Chad. We look forward to organizing similar initiatives in the future, expanding our reach, and ensuring more women have access to life-changing knowledge and resources.
