Frequently Asked Questions
Is this project affiliated to any organization?
No, we are health workers who have come together to address a gap we identified in our clients - inadequate access to dietary diversity and knowledge gap on NCD risk factors among PLHIV, more so women and girls. Through stakeholder engagements, we partner with the Department of Health, County Government of Homa Bay, the community and other CSOs
Why NCDs
Studies have shown an upward trend of NCDs among PLHIV, especially in resource-poor settings. NCDs are preventable yet they have devastating effects on health systems, families, and immense economic burden.
Many people are undiagnosed hence we create awareness of the risk factors as well as address two of the risk factors as a prevention and control strategy
Who funds your activities?
