The Health & Wellbeing Program at Celeste Foundation focuses on improving the overall physical, mental, and social wellbeing of women and girls in Bono and surrounding communities. Many women face challenges such as limited access to healthcare, lack of reproductive health education, and stigma around mental health. Our initiative seeks to bridge these gaps by providing knowledge, resources, and support systems that enable women to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
