About US:
Reach Out Mbuya Parish HIV/AIDS
Initiative was established with the aim to curb the further spread of HIV among
the less privileged members of the community and enable those already living
with HIV and AIDS to live a responsible and dignified life. Reach Out Mbuya
uses a holistic approach to care for people living with HIV (PLHIV) that
focuses on the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of the
patient. This is done by looking at the needs of the body, mind, family and
community in effective patient care. The program focuses on HIV prevention,
care and treatment, along with community and social support using low-cost
interventions such as a nurse-led medical care approach and utilization of
expert clients as the community health workers (CHWs). Reach Out Mbuya is
currently looking to expand the scope of services provided and increase the
organization’s visibility.
Reach Out Mbuya has been in existence for
over 14 years. In 2001 the organization worked with 14 patients and 15
volunteers; it now serves more than 7,500 adults and provides support to 8,000
orphans and vulnerable children. Primary funding for this growth was – and
continues to be – provided by PEPFAR through the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). ROM would like to identify additional sources of funding
as the organization plans for future programming. In the past, the organization
has focused on care and treatment and has barely tapped into research
opportunities that could offer additional sources of funding for the
organization.
