Activity Highlight#4 Geriatric Care Course for Sudanese people
As part of our commitment to empowering vulnerable groups with meaningful skills and dignified livelihood opportunities, The Virtuous Woman has launched a specialized training program preparing sudanese participants to serve in elderly care.
The program began with the selection and initial engagement of 50 women who are being prepared to enroll in a comprehensive caregiving and first aid training. This initiative aims to equip them with the skills needed to support elderly individuals—monitoring conditions such as blood pressure, diabetes, and common illnesses—while providing compassionate and holistic care.
Beyond technical training, the program carries a deeper mission: to transform participants from performing basic cleaning roles into caregivers who bring comfort, dignity, and human connection to those they serve. They are being equipped not only to assist physically, but also to provide emotional support and companionship, becoming a light in the lives of the elderly.
Due to the financial vulnerability of the participants, this program is currently 100% funded through donations, as they are unable to cover the cost of training.
The program will initially enroll 50 participants in its first cohort, who will receive:
* Comprehensive Medical Training: Including first aid and practical caregiving skills such as safe patient movement, hygiene care, and handling complex elderly care situations.
* Psychosocial Support Program: Preparing participants emotionally and psychologically to serve with resilience and empathy.
* Weekly Full-Day Training Sessions: Conducted once a week over a period of three months.
* Full Support Package: Including meals during training days, necessary supplies, training venue, and access to highly qualified trainers in both medical and psychological fields.
This initiative reflects our vision to create sustainable impact—equipping women with practical skills, restoring dignity in their work, and enabling them to provide holistic care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of the elderly.
