Our Projects
Community-based programs leverage anthropological and epidemiological approaches to engage communities and develop innovative models of care.
6 community health workers to serve the district's HIV population and engage local families on child health prevention. Since starting, community health workers have educated over 30,000 mothers and screened over 200,000 children for malnutrition. The amputee program incorporates all 9 local communities, and in addition to primary care, we offer services in mental health and chronic pain management. GAF evaluates its programs and disseminates results at conferences such as the International Conference on HIV Treatment Adherence.
Central to our programs is a primary care clinic, which offers high-quality, modern services like ultrasound diagnostics and serves about 40 patients each day. Since opening in January 2008, the clinic has treated over 20,000 community members and opened an annex in 2010 to expand its laboratory services and install the district's first x-ray machine.
