Low-income communities often lack access to healthcare, which can lead to poorer health outcomes, higher financial costs, and lower productivity. Kafaalo engages in different activities and interventions to improve healthcare for vulnerable and poor families and communities, including:
- Providing access to essential healthcare services. This includes things like primary care, maternal and child health services, and treatment for chronic diseases.
- Enhancing health literacy. We help people in vulnerable communities understand their health and how to make healthy choices.
- Addressing social determinants of health. These are the factors that influence health, such as poverty, housing, and education.
- Building community capacity. This means helping communities develop the skills and resources they need to improve their own health.
