to meet the daily needs.
“When
this programme was launched in 2008, four pillars were basically identified to
run this programme and they include micro credit, psychosocial support,
capacity building and advocacy. All this put together would form a holistic
approach that will compliment medical treatment that has been advanced in the
past ten years by Uganda Cares in Uganda”,Kiiza explained.
Balya
explained that 91 clients from Uganda Cares Soroti centre drawn from the
clusters which benefited include Asianut Kichinjanji, Arucokinos Nakatunya and
Kengere Moruapesur are to benefit from the revolving fund.
“This
people who have undergone the training and orientation and they form the
pioneer class but our ambitions is to reach as many clients as possible because
in Soroti clinic we have about 7000 registered clients.
Balya
pointed out that the revolving fund under SEEP is a grant of 150,000 US dollars
which is going to revolve within the clients. About shs 15.6million was
advanced to the Soroti cluster which was given to 52 out of the 91
beneficiaries.
Martin
Amodoi, the District Focal Point Person for HIV noted that the number of people
living with HIV in Soroti District was more than 15,000.
“A
majority of this people is living in the communities and has not tested or
opened themselves. They still have fear. Some of them have mixed feelings and
they are still continuing to pass the virus to those who may not be having it.
This is a big challenge to us. Those one accessing treatment are only 2000”,
Amodoi said.
He
added that one of the major challenges faced by the District in handling HIV is
on treatment and Soroti District Local Government has not been able to provide
such treatment.
“But
thank God. Soroti District Local Government has depended on partners like
Uganda Cares, The Aids Support Organisation and Baylor Uganda. Can you imagine
what could have happened within that time when the Local Government has not
been able to offer such services?” he asked.
He
said people living with HIV need food because HIV weakens the body.
Uganda
Cares provides services, including free antiretroviral therapy, across the
country. In addition, Uganda Cares conducts regular HIV testing events,
identifying thousands of positive people and referring them to care. Ends.
My name is Nathalia Lucas, 42 years old and female.From Brazil. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had the flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting in underdeveloped lungs. At age 36 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they started to find a solution on their own to help my condition.I am a 57 now who was diagnosed with COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but I was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr James total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet. He used his powerful medicine to cure different diseases. we contacted his email [drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and other diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
