🏢 About the local organisation
Community Health Volunteers is a community based organization established in 2006 with its office in Virhembe Market. The group was started up with the aim of building the capacity of the community and members to design and implement quality HIV/AIDS interventions, as well as to support people living with HIV/AIDS by increasing access and improving the quality of healthcare and referral service for them through increased linkages with the Ministry of Health. The group also aims to promote safe sexual behavior and practice among youth at risk and vulnerable groups. Community Health Volunteers in collaboration with DANIDA are establishing a dispensary and a computer-training center which will be used as a learning center for the youth from this community. This will be the only dispensary and resource center within this area that will serve the sick and the youth in this community.
