The challenge
The challenges are connected. Our response is community-based.
Orphans and Vulnerable Children
Growing numbers of OVC require early identification, psychosocial support, material assistance and referrals.
HIV and AIDS
Limited awareness and misinformation continue to place communities, especially young people, at risk.
TB and Chronic Illness
Communities need information, testing, treatment support, referrals and continued care.
Stigma and Discrimination
People affected by HIV and AIDS often face stigma and exclusion because of misinformation and fear.
Economic Vulnerability
Families affected by poverty need skills, support networks and pathways towards income generation.
Community Care Workers
People Who Bring Care Into The Community
Community Care Workers are central to SDA's community-based approach. They help identify beneficiaries, provide home-based care and connect people with relevant services and support.
Care starts where people live.
Identify
Recognising people and families who need support.
Care
Providing home-based and psychosocial support.
Connect
Linking beneficiaries to services, referrals and practical assistance.
