DISEASE FREE GENERATION

The current generation is being faced with several diseases that hinders productivity and social life. HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria, Neglected Tropical Diseases among others have for years threatened humanity. But, we know that we can all come together and to our part towards a healthier Africa.

In February 2022 we started the early implementation of this project in Mtama Lindi with a focus on malaria control and prevention while touchbasing on our three areas of focus addressing impacts of climate change on malaria vector distribution in the region, ensuring communities are well engaged and health systems strengthened.

We trained 20 Community health workers representing all wards of the district, equipped them with bicycles to help in visiting households, tracking and reporting cases, we also provided them with uniforms and evaluation forms.

We further visited churches and schools reaching out to over 10000 people including 3000+ students in primary and secondary schools. Utilizing our storytelling approach, with our key partners including Rotaract Club of KCMC, Success Hands, with a generous sponsorship of Rotary Germany, we developed and distributed a swahili storybook “Ziada na Onyo” that will continue to empower and motivate school aged children
