Maria and Irene went to Kishaike to carry out a home to home visit mobilizing community members about community health education program, the VHT Mr Sanyu was ready waiting at his home.
The walk started with the homes near the VHT’s home encouraging them to come in the health education meeting, informing them the venue, time and then moved the whole village informing the community members the program, venue, time where the lessons shall be conducted, encouraging the pregnant mothers to come for the meetings and also visit hospital for antenatal care.
During the walk, we came across Byogero who has diabetes, as we explained to her the program, Byogero shared with us about her neighbor who has been discouraging her from taking her medication for diabetes.
Byogero in fear had decided to stop the medication.
Irene encouraged Byogero to keep taking her medication as this will help her sugar level slow down or even normalize.
Byogero promised to come and attend the health education lessons so that she will be empowered with more knowledge concerning her health.
Maria and Irene promised the community members to call the mobilizers from all corners to inform them of the return date
