KUCHUSHINERS UGANDA

community dialogue held in partnership with Kawala Health Center four with the aim of making needs assessment on the health needs and issues that Key population persons need to be corrected and put in place as an Organisation. Healthy communities call for inspired leadership and action from every corner of our communities. Today, there's often a gulf between the conversations people have around the kitchen table and the conversations we have with our leaders. We see turf battles and fragmentation of efforts with more resources getting spent on the symptoms of deeper problems, and less on what generates health in the first place.
