BREAKING the Stigma
BREAKING the Stigma: An Alternative Approach to Cervical Cancer Screening in Nepal
Project BREAKING the stigma aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of an alternative method to cervical cancer screening – self-sampling for HPV delivered via online /phone based platforms. The project works closely with local partners, local communities to understand their needs, drivers and barriers and develop and test service pathways. It also explores contextual barriers and opportunities to create a feasible and acceptable prototype HPV self-sampling service which addresses current barriers to cervical screening and can be delivered through a sustainable business model.
Butterfly Project
The Butterfly Project improves menstrual health education in Indrawati, Sindhupalchowk by using the Menstrupedia comic alongside the government curriculum. In partnership with Putali Nepal, we deliver expert-led classes for grades 5–7 and assess changes in students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
Improving Sexual Reproductive Health
Advancing Sexual Reproductive and Health and Rights of Adolescents of Earthquake Affected Villages of Sindhupalchowk, Nepal
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are vital for a healthy society. People need awareness, care, and accurate information, but in many Nepali communities, open discussion remains limited by conservative traditions — especially for adolescents.
