Sustainable Health in Kyangwali
Capacity building and sustainable solutions that help the community take ownership of its own health.
The Story
A Community That Owns Its Health
In Kyangwali, RHCP focused on capacity building and sustainable healthcare solutions that empower the community to take ownership of its health.
Community-led health committees set priorities with RHCP teams, while nutrition and food-security programmes address one of the settlement’s most pressing needs.
Referral networks with district hospitals and income-generating health programmes make sure progress continues long after any single project ends.
Sustainable Health in Kyangwali
Health decisions are now made with the community, not for it — through committees that continue to meet and plan.
