Contribution

Please tell us how your organization will contribute to the Global Plan to Stop TB by briefly describing its involvement in any of the areas of work listed below:

TB-HIV:
HOPE has partnered Ghana Health Service to help unlock new opportunities to deal with issues of TB in Central Gonja and Tamale Metropolis. We reached out to beneficiaries at prayer camps, market centers, traditional healers, among others to implement the TB/HIV project in selected communities in catchment areas. The project was an all-inclusive one. HOPE for Children-Ghana is currently planning to strategise its operations in our operational areas to rope in other policy makers to champion this crusade. We intend to use out of school youth groups through football matches. Such sessions are expected to generate wider audiences to foster team work and also build on existing strategies.
