Health awareness and a caring presence, not a clinic
About this department
Health and Well-being work aims to help our community become better informed about health, safety, prevention, and healthy living. At this stage, that means community education and awareness rather than clinical medical care. As our capacity grows, we hope to strengthen health outreach, connect people with appropriate services, and support physical, mental, and social well-being.
Who We Serve
Families and individuals in Kyangwali Settlement who need clear health information and a caring presence, not clinical treatment, which we don't yet provide.
What we are aiming for
To encourage healthier, better-informed communities where people understand how to protect their well-being and seek appropriate support when needed.
