Improving Women and Family’s Health through Integrated Microfinance, Health Education and Promotion in Rural Areas

Kahabi Isangula · 2012 · Journal of Sustainable Development

Summary. Integrated microfinance combined with health education and promotion activities significantly improves rural women and family health outcomes. The review of peer-reviewed research shows these combined programs reduce intimate-partner violence, lower HIV/AIDS risk, promote mental health, and improve overall family wellbeing. Economic empowerment through local business support paired with preventive health training creates greater impact than either intervention alone in rural areas.
