Ethiopia Act
Aims to help those who suffer from diseases such as HIV/AIDS, cervical cancer, and tuberculosis. Based in Christian ministry, also aims to establish gospel-centered churches to serve people in need.
Overview
ACT started in 2002 as an HIV/AIDS project, caring for families impacted by the disease. Today, ACT still cares for many HIV+ people, but also responds to other public health problems and diseases, like tuberculosis and cervical cancer. ACT works to strengthen the public health system and partners closely with the health centers in the communities where we work. ACT monitors the health of the people in the project and ensures that all of its interventions are high impact.
Every family in Ethiopia ACT is enrolled in the government's Community-Based Health Insurance program. When the health system isn't able to provide the care needed, ACT steps in and makes sure that quality care is provided.
