Global Fund Supports Zukuka in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS

 

KZP is one of the organizations that have responded to the call by the Director General of Health Services;

 

“Health is made at home and can only be repaired when it breaks down in a healthy facility … so to avoid this, be clean, feed well, and do not share accommodation with animals. This is a message from the DGHS.”

 

In her pilot project therefore KZP has identified and provided practical measures to fulfill her objectives and to contribute practically to community transformation.
There is a cycle of all key issues that KZP addresses. There is need to understand this cycle clearly; - When an issue is raised and catered for in Public Health and sanitation, it is evident that all the other areas of concern are addressed in a way or the other.
In her quest towards improving Public Health and sanitation, KZP does not only draw people’s attention to the available services especially by government, but also provides the services herself.
It is therefore worth commending, that during the last months of existence, KZP has provided services like;

  • Building latrines for individual homes that did not have any or renovating those that were in poor conditions.
  • Constructing water harvest tanks
  • Utensil stands for various families
  • Constructing goat sheds and poultry houses with the help of The Global Fund project. This is done to eliminate the problem of people sharing accommodation with animals and birds.
  • HIV/AIDS control services to OVC and OVC families with the help from The Global Fund. KZP is now showing educative films o HIV/AIDS and life learning skills to the community.
    However, this is not the end, nor has KZP seen the transformation of her dreams. Kzp is on the move to identify more working partners so as to add in more effort with receipt of financial assistance.
Such working partners include the government of Uganda, humanitarian bodies like RDA, OCBO with related issues of concern as KZP’s and various resource persons who can render a hand in the progress of KZP.
With an able management, equipped with the skills of transforming ideas into workable approaches, KZP will transform society into a place admirable for all to live in.
