to arrive at an effective development, we focus our activities in following fields: Health care, Media, Economy, Agriculture and ICT.
Since 2014, UDA has launched its fight against tuberculosis mainly targeting the mining sites of the province of South Kivu or tens of thousands of people in artisanal sites and where working conditions are not guaranteed; which causes infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases. UDA works in close collaboration with the artisanal diggers by sensitizing them on voluntary testing.
