Sustainable Health Communities
Background
In this program, ARUWE focuses mainly on women and girls’ health related issues such as reproductive health, Gender based violence, HIV/AIDS, Menstrual hygiene management, Water and sanitation and nutrition.
We focus on tackling the common root causes of these health related issues such as ignorance, lack of access to information, access to quality and affordable health care, poverty, gender inequality and human rights’ violation.
We belief health is a human right which should be enjoyed by all without any form of discrimination. Therefore, we are empowering communities to demand, access and utilize affordable, available and quality health services, WASH structures and menstrual hygiene resources. We are also ensuring that no individual is a victim of gender based violence through human rights awareness and case management support.
