With the support of the Community Project for the Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis, a door-to-door and market sensitisation campaign took place in January 2025, in Genle neighborhood, Cuito municipality, Bié province.

The campaign aimed to identify pregnant women who had not yet started prenatal consultations and raise awareness of the importance of medical follow-up during pregnancy, for the health of both mother and child.

Community health workers also shared vital information on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis prevention, encouraging regular access to local health services.

This initiative reinforces the project's role in promoting community health by bringing information and basic care to those most in need.

As part of the Community Project for the Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis, a pastry training was held in Benguela in January 2025, aimed at empowering young women from the Bancadas area by developing practical entrepreneurship skills.

Throughout the training, participants acquired vocational skills that can generate sustainable income and improve their living conditions. In addition to technical skills, the activity included awareness sessions on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, enhancing the girls’ knowledge on prevention, care, and access to treatment.

This initiative demonstrates how integrating health education with economic empowerment can promote female empowerment and contribute to more informed and resilient communities.
