We launched CHW(Community Health Worker) for health care in this village.
Is there vaccination for children? Or there isn't. Do you have any difficulty?
This village has many pregnant women and ladies with problem,
Are they contacting Aasha(mid wife)? And, we discussed about toilets.
Toilets was introduced to this village? Is it working or not?
Look. We come here. We give you medicines. We teach you about health.
We provide nutrition for women. Is there any profit for you?
Please tell me.
Did you see anything good for you?
Do you see any change? What was it? It's changing. Foods are supplied...
That is another thing. I'm talking about this social work committee.
After the mobile clinic came, is he working for health, everyday in your village?
Is there any good thing for this village, or not? ...There is a good thing.
What is the good thing?
They are working well to tell us information.
Are they informing you? And anything else?
I am saying just I know.
Did I get anything? I am going and coming...
Did you get medicine? Or you didn't get?
About children's vaccination, Is there any difference before and after we have come here.
Before you come, Villagers had kept their children hiding. ...Why?...
Because children might get fever.
Now, they understood. They make children take vaccination.
People got awareness on this point.
There are pregnant women in this village. We explained them about health.
Is there any changing? ...Yes, there is a big change.
Before, they were afraid of just even going to a hospital.
Why?
I don't know why. they didn't believe in it. Now, they run into the hospital.
They trust us more.
By doing health education, their trust on vaccination was increased more.
I the last health comittee, we discussed about constructing toilets, with the help of administration.
2 years ago, it has started. But nothing special happened.
Do you think it is very necessary for you? ...Yes, it is....
Don't you think the toilets are necessary?
If we have own toilet in the house,
Otherwise, we have to go outside, and there are lots of problems.
Please understand that going outside for toilet, what problem heppen.
Someone is coming this way, then, you have to stand up suddenly.
When you can't do it well, gas will be produced in your stomach.
Some disease appears.
If you have own toilet, then you will do relaxing without worry.
You don't have to fear.
Otherwise, you are worry that someone is coming from that way, someone is watching at me or not.
You will stand up suddenly.
But when you have it, you will be free from that worry at least.
So, it's very necessary for each house.
What do you think, you need toilets? What should we do for that?
I the last meeting, young ladies and girls told us, they couldn't tell about that to their family, they were ashamed to say that.
And, at that time, some elder people came and told us, they tell their daughter and his son's wife to keep reputation,
But I have to let them go to the fields.
Some people know how it is necessary. But they leave it, they think why should I...
What should we do? Now, there is a government service,
BPL(below poverty line) family can receive 3500 Rs. to build a toilet.
How is it available? When can we get? Where will it be built? That is a government service.
But what do we feel when we let our daughter and our son's wives go to outside?
The person can build toilet, then, they have to do it.
After someone built it, other people in the village may do so,
They may do as same as they saw.
decades ago, gentlemen wore doti, now, they started to wear jeans, after seeing someone started.
It is possible to happen.
Why can't we build toilets? ...3 or 4 years ago, a health related NGO came and they wanted to give toilets,
For family of BPL. But... it was 3000 Rs..
Only 15 to 20 persons made toilets then.
Do you still use it? ...Yes, mine and his...
Some people who are active, they made.
The rest of the other people couldn't make, because of poverty.
What do you think you are the person like who can use 10000Rs?
...I think the people didn't build, they couldn't afford it....
I think we all are the person like who can use 10000Rs.
But we don't think what is the reason to build it.
We don't think what kind of disease are coming, without the toilet.
We didn't care. ...If one person became diarrhea, in a season,
in a family, if only one person became diarrhea,
At least it will cost 5000 Rs. That time, the family gather it even they don't spend 2000Rs. per month.
By selling something.
so, Our thinking has not changed. Toilets are necessary for us.
When we arrange girl's marriage, for the girl who is 15 to 18 years old, You will gather money for that together.
I have a habit of chewing tobacco. I teach children.
If I say that chewing tobacco is bad. Before saying that, I have to quit it.
If I say someone that you didn't build a toilet, then I will be asked by him that why you didn't build it?
