MAITS is pleased to share an update on the progress of our collaborative training programme with CRP, aimed at empowering Community Health Workers (CHWs) and therapists with advanced skills to better serve their communities. Your generous support has been instrumental in making this initiative possible, and we are excited to share our plans and milestones.
To maximise the impact of this programme, we have agreed with CRP to conduct three batches of training over several months. This phased approach will enable us to train 50 CHWs and 6 therapists to the L2 level, with the opportunity for three L2 trainers to advance to the prestigious L3 Master Trainer certification.
Upcoming Training Milestones
Batch 1 (December 2024): We kicked off the training programme with 10 CHWs and 6 therapists. All participants received foundational L1 training to ensure that the therapists are thoroughly equipped with the materials they will later use to train CHWs. This foundational training will be led by CRP’s experienced Master Trainers, Fahmida Banu and Lusana Afrin Nirjhar.
Batch 2 (February 2025): In the second round of training, the Master Trainers will guide the sessions, with L2 trainees taking on co-training responsibilities. Therapists who successfully meet L2 certification requirements during this phase will be prepared to lead CHW training in the next batch.
Batch 3 (April 2025): During the final phase, we plan for Shabnam Rangwala, our seasoned Master Trainer from India, to attend. Shabnam has previously assessed trainers at CRP and will evaluate whether the L2 trainers are ready to progress to L3 certification and take on the vital role of Master Trainer.
These steps mark significant progress towards our goal of creating a robust and self-sustaining training programme. By equipping CHWs and therapists with advanced skills, we are collectively enhancing the quality and reach of healthcare services in their communities.
Your support is the foundation of this important work, and we are deeply grateful for your commitment to this cause. We will continue to keep you updated as the programme progresses and look forward to sharing the positive impact your generosity is enabling.
Thank you for being a valued partner in this journey.
