We join the world in the fight to end AIDS as a public health threat. With national HIV prevalence at 5.4% impacting 1.5 million people and 52,000 new infections yearly, Busia District’s 3.9% rate among adults 15-49 highlights urgent Eastern Region needs.

Through the Project via partnership, we’ve empowered 300+ young women and girls living with HIV in Busia and Tororo. Highlights include capacity building for 7 Youth Advisory Committee members on rights-based SRHR services, resilience-capturing success story documentaries, and close-out events reaching 165 people (63% female) that secured stakeholder pledges for youth friendly corners stocked with IEC materials.

Our Community-Led Monitoring (CLM) through The AIDS Support Organisation (TASO) Uganda Ltd and has cut across 8 Busia facilities and Busitema HC III plus Majanji HC II showed 95% service satisfaction and 97% feedback awareness, despite HIV supply stock-outs (25%) and staffing gaps (44%). We’ve pushed for better ARV access, testing kits, quality counseling, and patient linkages, driving retention and equity.

These partnerships fuel lasting change, connecting PLHIV to care, boosting diagnostics, and sparking community dialogues. Let’s amplify voices for accessible HIV services together!

Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, with the UN highlighting climate change’s role in rising gender-based violence (GBV). In Uganda, 51% of women face violence, with the Eastern region reporting some of the highest rates 40% prevalence and teenage pregnancy at 22%. Busia district suffers acute impacts, including over 2,500 GBV cases during lockdown mainly driven by infidelity and poverty. These alarming trends call for urgent community action and support services to protect women and girls.
