EDUCATION, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS
The Project organizes 6 educational seminars on health matters to equip people with knowledge on HIV & AIDS and general community health. These seminars involve residents of the area of our mandate. Facilitators are invited to come and create awareness on HIV & AIDS control. Participants are entertained, taught and given counseling. This idea came when the Project found out that the rate of HIV an AIDS prevalence was very high. Most sick clients suffering from these diseases sought assistance from the project for medication and facilitation to access medical care. This was costing the Project heavily; as such a program of creating awareness on health matters was rolled out to reduce spread of this deadly disease. This was a way of cutting the cost of medication on clients for knowledge is wisdom.
The effects of these seminars are apparent since many people become free to consult medical facilities for testing of HIV & AIDS and high rate at which clients have registered in the N.H.I.F scheme. Moreover the sick ones are under medication taking antiretroviral (ARV's) without being stigmatized.
