The project seeks to address the lack of medical services, including those related to HIV/AIDS, for members of isolated communities living on islands in Lake Victoria within the borders of Tanzania or Uganda. It is delivering a comprehensive primary health care intervention package with a focus on HIV/AIDS and mother and child health. Services are delivered through static and mobile clinics to people living in hard-to-reach communities often missed by national-level programming and services. These communities are among the hardest hit by diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other high-burden, communicable, poverty-linked diseases. This is one of two parts of a projet valued at $499,578. The first part has been completed.
