What we do
Six connected areas of work, all aimed at one goal: healthier families and a stronger Kisenyi II.
Program 1
Community health outreach
Our community health volunteers go door to door and hold health talks in public places, so that people find out about health problems early and get to care.
- Health education on malaria, HIV, TB, hypertension and diabetes
- Mobilisation for testing and screening days with Kisenyi Health Centre IV
- Referrals to the health centre and follow-up so that treatment is completed
- Support for people living with HIV and TB to stay on treatment

Program 2
Mothers, newborns & children
Kisenyi Health Centre IV delivers about 10,000 babies a year. We help make sure more mothers start antenatal care early and come back after birth.
- Encouraging early and regular antenatal visits
- Promoting safe delivery at a health facility
- Postnatal and newborn care follow-up at home
- Immunisation reminders and child nutrition education
- Family planning information and referrals
Program 3
Water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH)
Blocked drains, shared and overflowing toilets, and uncollected rubbish make families sick. We work with residents and local leaders to change that.
- Community clean-up days and drainage clearing
- Hand-washing and safe-water education, especially in the rainy season
- Working with landlords and leaders on safe, adequate toilets
- Cholera and typhoid prevention campaigns

Women & livelihoods
Village savings groups, small-business and financial skills training, and links to opportunities, so that households can afford food, rent and care.
Advocacy & community voice
Community dialogues that bring residents, local council leaders and health workers together to solve shared problems and push for better services.
