Pallegudem, India

Sister Pauline Fouafoana and postulant Pujitha Chepala Madugu have given a community development topic in the neighbouring parish of Pindiprolu (Khammam): hygiene and health. A theme in the framework of a programme of empowerment of women through education on everyday issues of their interest such as family development, child care. It is a programme that has been running for years and which, due to its simple usefulness, has had continuity among the women of the area.

These talks are accompanied by food – where ideas are shared and impressions and experiences are exchanged – and even gifts, such as saaris for women who have given birth. These luminous initiatives are generating growing communities of women.
