Caption
Francis Makusha (36) and his son Tadiwanoshe (1 year 8 months) travelled 15kms to visit the Chifuedza Health Clinic because of a suspected worm under the skin of Tadiwanshe’s foot. Francis’s wife was caring for her sick sister and under distress, so Francis took his son to the clinic instead of her. Thanks to the gender program run by ENSURE, more and more men have been bringing their children to the clinic. Traditionally parenting responsibilities such as these fall on the mother, however education about shared parenting duties is encouraging more men to participate more in raising and caring for their children. Francis’s community is one of the communities Sarah Madzivia (see other images in this folder) visits as part of her work as village health worker. In his community, it is normal for the men to help out in such a way. Tadiwanoshe is an ENSURE beneficiary. When his mother was three months pregnant she began the supplement program of CSB and vegetable oil to ensure proper nutrition throughout and after pregnancy
The Chifuedza Health Clinic is well known in Chivi District. With a trained nurse available, it is one of the few places in the area providing healthcare community members, particularly to women and infants. Women walk long distances - sometimes up to 15kms - to see the nurse with their children. Often they’ve been encouraged to attend by village health workers who spend time in specific communities to monitor the health of women and children and discuss and educate about health issues. They encourage pregnant and lactating women to visit during pregnancy, after birth and while their child is an infant to ensure proper healthcare, nutrition and medication as required. Thanks to the gender program run by ENSURE, more and more men have been bringing their children to the clinic. Traditionally parenting responsibilities such as these fall on the mother, however education about shared parenting duties is encouraging more men to participate more in raising and caring for their children.
