GRA has established a network of community-based workers across refugee settlements, including Nakivale. These workers, who are refugees themselves, act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of their communities. They identify individuals and vulnerable families in need of assistance and provide them with ongoing care and support.

We have provided reproductive and maternal health training to over 160 teenage women, equipping them with vital knowledge to prevent pregnancy, AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases.

GRA also works with particularly disadvantaged and discriminated groups, including adults and children with albinism. We currently support a group of 85 individuals with albinism by distributing skin-protective equipment and delivering health education to prevent skin cancer. In addition, we conduct community-based campaigns to address and reduce the stigma that albino refugees face.

Another significant achievement is our ongoing work focusing on breast cancer across Africa. The lack of equipment and awareness often results in preventable and unnecessary deaths. To combat this, we are bringing better solutions, partnering with volunteer doctors and healthcare professionals who selflessly dedicate their expertise to helping underserved populations. Together, we are striving to improve access to care and save lives in some of the most vulnerable communities.
