Health and Community Wellbeing
Preventive health awareness, psychosocial support, nutrition education and community outreach.
Good health begins in the neighbourhood with clear information, supportive conversations and timely links to qualified care.
About this programme
To promote healthier communities through preventive health education, mental health awareness and practical support for vulnerable households.
Many preventable health challenges become harder when families lack accessible health information or a safe space to talk about wellbeing.
Working alongside community mentors and qualified local health providers, ABWA supports practical awareness around nutrition, hygiene, maternal health and emotional wellbeing.

Increase community awareness of practical, preventive healthcare.

Improve household knowledge of everyday nutrition and hygiene.
Help vulnerable community members connect with appropriate, qualified health services.
Projects and activities on the ground
