Impactful Actions

Our community health worker colleagues make BIG impacts! From prenatal to palliative care, the Kafwa in Zambia work tirelessly to help their community members.

In Mapalo, a 37-year-old woman named Tanti is living with tuberculosis and HIV. Due to her conditions, she has to travel to the local hospital regularly- an expensive and exhausting routine to receive treatment. After being “adopted” by our Kafwa friends, she has received food to keep up her strength and financial assistance to continue traveling to the hospital. After realizing that the woman was not taking her medications correctly, Kafwa women set up counseling sessions for her. Since becoming a client of the Kafwa, Tanti’s health has vastly improved, along with her quality of life. 

Tanti’s story showcases the life-changing impact that advocacy can have! Because of the love and support shown by the Kafwa, Tanti’s life improved significantly. Thank you for making their empowering and healing work possible!
