Our health education staff does the crucial job of making our partner villages aware of the common causes of illness, disease and death in the Busoga region. As a registered nurse, Irene is able to identify and treat cases that can’t wait, but our main goal is the education of the entire community so that we can prevent those events from happening in the first place.
The Empowerment curriculum covers common diseases, virus transfers, pre-natal and post-natal care, hygiene, and other common health issues.
Personal hygiene – We educate community members about personal health and sanitation, including burn treatments, shaving, teeth brushing, and self-care during menstruation and pregnancy.
Pre-natal and post-natal care – We education women on nutrition, hygiene, birthing procedures, where to go, and how to manage emergencies. We also make sure they have the tools to care for their child after they are born.
Common Disease Prevention – We address common diseases in the Busoga region, how people can prevent contraction, and how to properly care for patients.
