Healthcare
This pilot project collaborates with a local physician and his clinical staff to treat its members in Southern Africa. The overall goal is to eventually provide service and treatment to all members of communities here and abroad. Together we will move these families to a life of health and self-sufficiency through educative programs.
We provide recommendations on an array of HIV care and treatment issues (e.g., anti-retro viral therapy, opportunistic infection treatment and prophylaxis) as well as guidance on conducting HIV testing and counseling. Guidelines are regularly updated by expert panels. When referrals are made, the patient’s willingness and ability to accept and complete a referral is assessed. Self-identified priorities are more likely to be successful than those that are not; the services need to be responsive to the patient’s needs and appropriate for the patient’s culture, language, age and developmental level. Our government is sending a lot of money to Africa to help the people diagnosed with HIV. We aim to educate members on protective measures against HIV/AIDS.

SAAWEDO would like to network with your organization and Incaest International based in Southern Africa organization was necessitated by the realization that people with visually impaired disabilities share the same problems worldwide. Due to lack of technology for visually impaired people. This has led to broken barriers in achieving social economic independence and less access to attaining viable skills and facilities to thrive. SAAWEDO vision is to bridge gaps affecting the visually impaired. Network allows interaction among participants on technology, socialization, and transformation into active members of the community. This will reduce results of suicide, depression, anxiety, isolation and marginalization caused on by societal bias.
