Brian is 20 years old and has just finished high school but now has been fallen ill with TB. Through this grant, Brian will have a treatment supporter who will be trained on how to take care of him and make sure he takes his drugs regularly. Brian and others like him are grateful to the unseen donor (Challenge Facility).
The Ambassadors of hope project had three main objectives. The first objective of improving attitude, skills, and behaviour was met by training 120 community health workers that included 30 ex-TB patients who later went on to form a support group. Additionally, three stakeholder forums were held during the project period. The second objective of improving quality, range, and coverage of TB prevention and support services included using the community health workers for active case finding and referrals where health services are not easily accessible. The third objective was to strengthen capacity and output of TB clinic for early detection and diagnosis. This was achieved through sputum collection, referrals and messages on early diagnosis. The community health workers managed to deliver 1272 slides to the 7 diagnostic centres out of which 161 were positive; a 12.65% yield. Community health workers made 87 referrals, distributed 100 T-shirts and 1200 brochures with TB messages, and reached 17,754 people with TB messages in 192 community meetings.
