Blessing Kwomo is the founder of De Therapeutic Studio, a home health care system designed to treat illnesses, tackle causes and empower families through education to live better in their context of their environment. Raised in a village in Kano State, Blessing often returned to the hospital because she was still unable to fully recover at home due to poor living conditions and the environment, which is still vulnerable to disease. . And as she grew older, she noticed that people around her were going through the same challenges of illness, treatment, and relapse. She also saw how women die every minute of pregnancy and complications of childbirth. Thus, Blessing decided to create an alternative health care solution that would support all aspects that are superior to individual total well-being. Thus, DE REHOBOTH STUDIO THERAPEUTIQUE was founded on October 2, 2014. REHOBOTH is an intervention to encourage the total well-being of low-income families in Nigeria and to ensure that childbirth is safer, the infection rate is reduced, and women have essential kits for clean delivery. It aims to promote the self-sufficiency of families in poor health and social risk. It helps these people take care of their health and their treatment through a more natural approach to healing. REHOBOTH also needs to improve the cycle of poverty and suffering by providing support to low-income families by enabling them to become economically and socially self-reliant.
Their interventions are in these five areas:
Health: DE REHOBOTH provides specialized food, medicine and technical support to ensure that the patient’s chronic or acute illness is well managed.
Housing: Homes in poor conditions are repaired and refurbished using materials and labour provided by DE REHOBOTH to give access to basic amenities such as portable clean water, good sewage/refuse disposal units at a very reduced price.
Income generation: Family members particularly mothers are enrolled in professional training courses where they learn marketable skills that help ensure stable and raised income upon graduation.
Citizenship: DE REHOBOTH provides guidance in obtaining official registration documentation which permits access to government social service program.
Education: Parents and teenagers attend educational lectures on issues such as nutrition, hygiene, violence, infant development, family planning, STDs, AIDS etc.
