Livelihood Support
In addition to our health programs and research, we aim to improve the livelihood of our communities by investing in targeted interventions that will provide compounding economic benefits for years to come.
Promoting Economic Activity
EARLY INITIATIVES: Through our MaCHI Program, we have supported our community health workers coming together to start a SACCO (Savings and Credit Cooperative Organization) to promote financial flexibility within their cohort. Shown left are several CHWs preparing to select recipients of their monthly SACCO distribution.
Pig & Goat Rearing: In 2024, PHEALED began donating pigs and goats to our VHTs. By providing livestock, VHTs gain a sustainable source of income and food security. These animals can be bred or sold to generate ongoing revenue, creating a reliable safety net for our VHTs and their families. This approach not only improves household resilience but also reinforces the sustainability of our community health program by ensuring VHTs are motivated and economically empowered within their communities.
