Campaigns

Fertility Dost, with the focus on providing support to women struggling to be mothers, has also been vocal about the stigma associated with women’s reproductive health. We have always tried in our length and breadth to remove the social taboo that comes with this subject. In this era, when social media is the most vital source to reach out to masses and to get heard, we did some social media campaigns leaving an imprint for a long time. :

The campaign was a success with hundreds of courageous women participating in the event.

 

 

Fertility Dost participated in the Do Day 2019 organized by The Do School, Germany which also made it the winner worldwide among other participants worldwide.

Focusing on the negligence and silence concerning women’s reproductive health and infertility at large, we started a social media campaign with the #ChuppiTodo aiming to break the silence and urging people to speak up with an overwhelming response from our audience.

We conducted various corporate workshops where working women between age of 22 to 45 enthusiastically participated discussing about various hormonal imbalances along with activities on managing daily stress and one-on-one counselling.

 

 

Published in leading newspapers

• We got featured in several national newspapers and media houses this year including The Times of India, Dainik Bhaskar (published in 65 cities).

Highlights Of The Year

• Cries of Joy:

We are overwhelmed and humbled to share the good news of 14 confirmed pregnancies and 5 deliveries this year. It’s an emotional journey after all the struggle throughout and we are glad to be a small part on this road.

• Packages sold:

We sold over 100 packages related to pre IVF program, happiness program and adoption counselling.

• Awareness Camps:

We conducted 8 awareness camps in Delhi NCR.

• Counseling:

Infertility is such a problem that comes with numerous other problems in an individual’s life. One of which is depression and declining mental health which often makes women take harsh steps. We saved a suicide by quick counselling and with the help of our support group.

Simply put, the year has been very inspiring and we’ve only been motivated to move ahead, touch more lives and bring more good news. Again, this wouldn’t have been possible without your support. We would like to thank everyone who came and trusted us.
