The Jimmy-Rosalynn Carter Women's Clinic and Nursery
On June 21, 1987, former U.S President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn Carter presided over the founding ceremony of the We-Train Center. Mr Carter, as chairman of the Global 2000 Foundation donated one million Baht for the construction of the Women's Clinic.Pregnant women and new mothers are cared for in the clinic. We can have anywhere up to 20 expectant mothers on any given day.
The Jimmy-Rosalynn Carter Women's Clinic also has a nursery section which can house up to 30 new born babies at any time. Some of these new borns have their mothers on site in the clinic. Other new borns live at the clinic while their mothers leave for work. In some cases the new borns are left with no mothers.
Sasakawa Women’s Education and Training Center
offers opportunities for enrollment in the non-formal education
programs at elementary and secondary levels, in collaboration
with the Ministry of Education. Vocational skills training
in different fields is offered all through the year. All
these services are for both the Emergency Home members and
for the general public.
The
special feature of the programs offered by the Center is
that information regarding women’s issues is integrated
in all the programs. The purpose is to raise their awareness
on the problems women face and what the APSW does to lessen
them.
