Starfish Wellness Wagon
10 Miles. That was the distances that Zandi walked to get her nearest clinic. The trip would start at 5:00am and she would get home long after dark, famished and exhausted. The clinic presented additional changes- the prying question of her mother's "friends", the preaching of Sr.Zondo, the indiscretion of the pharmacist when telling her how touse the creams he gave her.
That was until the Starfish Wellness Wagon started visiting her village. Here she was with her peers, she got information about sexual and reproductive health issues, contraceptives, STI & HIV information- and they linked her to resources and support much wider than mere health. here was access to psycho-social and socio-economic support, And the vehicle was funky and real and equipped to deal with her private health issues.
