  • CAPTION: Shanti Toppo is married. She would like there to be a gap before she has her second child. Health worker Dr Kusum Kumari Bara suggests two options for her, firstly the Copper T, which allows the user to delay pregnancy for a longer period, and secondly the condom, which must be used by her husband. It is stressed that the condom is the only thing that also prevents spread of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The service provider then suggests that it is a good idea to come back along with her husband, so that he can also understand these things.

  • CAPTION: Thanks to The Teacher Foundation (TTF), Prabhuswamy has been trained to lead Quality Circle Time (QCT) sessions in his primary school classrooms.

  • CAPTION: Sahiya Anupma Soren takes a monthly session with the 15-19-year olds. The discussion covers delaying the age of marriage, antenatal care, where the ARSH clinic is and what it does, the methods of family planning that the facility can help with, and what their respective pros and cons are. The Government requires these sessions to be conducted monthly. Sahiyas are given an incentive of ₹ 75 per session they lead. The girls are asked to come on a regular basis, as the knowledge imparted builds over time.

    IMG44960.jpg
  • CAPTION: This group is considering sexual changes, such as the start of the menstrual cycle. Girls tend not to be aware that this is coming up, as parents and even the health system tend not to orient them on it. Then, when bleeding happens for the first time and it shows through a girl’s clothes, she may feel very embarrassed. So adolescents, schools, parents, and other family members all need to be sensitized. A similar example in the case of boys is night emissions after 'wet dreams'. The first time this happens, the boy may be very startled. In the rural Indian cultural context, boys are unlikely to want to talk about it with parents or healthcare professionals, nor are these people likely to want to talk about what's happening for them. Often, boys will consult 'quacks' or low-cost books available in local markets, and may get information that's far from the truth. Again, ways to tackle this must be considered. LOCATION: Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Sunita Patra, Jayashree Sawayan, Dr Jagannath Hembrom, Suhagini Kisku and Sefali Dandapat.

  • CAPTION: For a long time, Madhushree's mother Bhagya thought that her daughter was a bit of a slow learner, and she had no idea why. Nobody told her that her daughter had autism, and how autistic children could be helped to develop and thrive. During the earliest days following the birth of a child who has (or develops) a disability, parents often struggle to work out what best they can do for him or her, and could use more information and firmer direction. Under the Chamkol programme, such children aged between zero and five and their mothers, expectant mothers and women of child-bearing age will be able to get this through health, wellbeing, development and pre-school programmes run through Early Years' Clubs. LOCATION: Masagapura (village), Kasaba (hobli), Chamrajnagar (district), Karnataka (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: From left to right: Bhagya, Megha and Madhushree.

  • CAPTION: Dr Ram Chandra Soren, the area’s Medical Officer-in-Charge, notes that adolescents tend to be reluctant to visit their CHCs, preferring private clinics and 'quacks', because they assume that they will not get what they need there, or that there will be insufficient privacy. He assures them that they can get what they need from the ARSH clinic with full privacy and confidentiality. Changing awareness about this has resulted in significant positive changes, such as a marked reduction in septic abortions. LOCATION: Adolescent Reproductive and Sexual Health (ARSH) clinic, Ghatshila Community Health Centre (CHC), Purbi Singhbhum (district), Jharkhand (state), India. INDIVIDUAL(S) PHOTOGRAPHED: Dr Ram Chandra Soren.
    IMG44861.jpg
  • CAPTION: Dr Ram and his colleagues are forming what they call a 'chain of information', so that even if families don’t allow their youth to seek out the services they need in person, friends can pass on the news about what the ARSH clinic can provide. He observes that another problem is that most families think only of educating their boys on what they need, and just think about marrying their girls off. So it’s important to ensure that girls don’t fall through the net. These four girls are part of the discussion group that’s been established in Ghatshila. They have asked Dr Ram to come to the community college where they are studying nearby and take sessions for all the adolescent girls there to ensure they will then access the services they need. They therefore serve as the link between the college and Dr Ram.

  • CAPTION: Fortunately for Shilpa, ramps are one aspect of school accessibility that Kasaba's schools have in place. However, many are too steep, while many other aspects of accessibility - such as toilets and signage - also need urgent attention. The Chamkol programme therefore provides for School Inclusion Audits and Plans to be carried out by Pupils' Clubs with a view to correcting these flaws.

During the earliest days following the birth of a child who has (or develops) a disability, parents often struggle to work out what best they can do for him or her, and could use more information and firmer direction. Under the Chamkol programme, such children aged between zero and five and their mothers, expectant mothers and women of child-bearing age will be able to get this through health, wellbeing, development and pre-school programmes run through Early Years' Clubs.
