DeSMAS

DeSMAS DeSMAS was formed in response to the need to assist deprived single mothers economically while addressing the needs of their children in anyway feasible.

Women and children form a higher percentage of society. Despite their significant roles in the economic activities at the household level and in the general society, women in Africa seem to have diminished rights and are exploited by their male counterparts. Majority of women in the informal sector such as traders, fishmongers, farmers etc usually have children without any legal basis to their mar

riage. This results in women being at a disadvantage when the marriage falls apart or when their spouses pass away. The women in these situations are stripped of everything including their dignity during widowhood rites. Most of these women are however left with the children to care for even when their spouses are alive in some cases of divorce. DeSMAS seeks to offer any feasible assistance to deprived single mother and their children in the abscence of any national social intervention targeting single mothers and the challenges that contront them.

DeSMAS in collaboration with the University of California Education Abroad Programme (UCEAP) held their annual health care programme for women in Tema Newtown; a rural-urban community in Ghana's premier port city Tema.

With the help of students and health professionals, discussions on breast care, diabetes, hypertension among other health concerns were held.

Women were educated on the early signs of these diseases and advised to report to health care facilities immediately they saw any signs. Over 250 women benefited from free health screening. Some were referred to health facilities for professional attention and others on how to properly manage their conditions and adherence to their medications.
