New health workers trained!
Date: 2013-11-27
We have trained 21 new community health workers as we expand our work to Boro...
Positive Aid has always focused on helping people infected and affected with HIV/AIDS, as this disease is just so tragic...the best way of helping these people is by caring for them in their own homes, because when they‘re sick its basically too far for them to walk to get to a hospital. So we‘ve trained people from the villages to become community health workers, and support the most needy. Now, we‘ve just added 21 new health workers to our existing 56, making a total of 77! This means that through our work, more than 200 people in real need are being cared for, and being put onto treatment that can turn their lives around...and the lives of their kids and the rest of the community too!
