Home-Based Care Community Outreach

-

 Our Home-Based Care team continues to reach out to the community with dedication and compassion, bringing vital health information right to the doorsteps of the people we serve. This week, our team has been vibrant and active in conducting HIV sensitization and creating awareness about related infections. Through open discussions, personalized health talks, and continuous follow-up, we are helping individuals and families understand the importance of prevention, early testing, and timely treatment.

We are greatly encouraged to see more community members volunteering for HIV testing. Every person who steps forward to know their status takes an important step toward protecting their health and contributing to a healthier community.
A heartfelt appreciation goes to all our partners and donors Broeders Penitenten and   Franciscanessen Charitas, who make these activities possible. Your generous support enables us to reach more people, offer accurate information, and provide essential services. Truly, **your contributions save lives**, and together we continue to bring hope, healing, and positive change to our community.
