Community Health & HIV/AIDS Support Program
The Community Health & HIV/AIDS Support Program is designed to address the pressing health challenges faced by vulnerable populations in Budondo Sub-County and surrounding areas. Many rural families experience limited access to quality healthcare, high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, poor maternal and reproductive health services, and widespread malnutrition. This program focuses on raising community awareness, expanding access to essential health services, and strengthening local capacity to prevent disease and promote healthy living. It also provides targeted care and support for HIV/AIDS-affected families while empowering community health volunteers and peer educators to sustain long-term health interventions at the grassroots level.
