Provide Emergency Support for Vulnerable Persons.

2026 came with a whole lots of challenges but having the right team and the necessary support from GlobalGiving most of, if not all the challenges where handled properly. The activities for this project aim at promoting health in remote communities within the Southwest Region have really been of great impact to the communities. We have CHWs who showed commitment and a sense of dedication towards their work. Putting together their resources and working as a team to achieve the ultimate goal of saving lives.

The CHWs continued with community engagement by providing primary healthcare services to the most vulnerable population within the local communities. The community was engaged through planned project activities namely, treatment of simple malaria, treatment of simple diarrhea, referral of complicated cases, screening of children <5 years for malnutrition, referral of high-risk pregnant women to the health facilities for ANC, provision of maternal kits and health sensitization. Other activities carried out within the month were the treatment of minor skin infections/irritations and the distribution of Ferrous Folate to pregnant women.

During the reporting period, most families in the remote community lacked access to basic malaria treatment, relying instead on traditional methods. Thanks to the funding from GlobalGiving, these communities have benefited from medical attention.

The main challenge faced in the past months were poor communication with CHWs caused by faulty network, and bad roads to access this communities caused by the bad weather. In the long run, the project plans to continue providing healthcare services to vulnerable individuals, conduct health promotion sensitization, Screen for severe acute malnutrition, ensure proper compensation for CHWs. The project's efforts have demonstrated the critical need for healthcare services in remote communities and the positive impact that can be achieved through targeted interventions.
