projects Living Goods
Living Goods works in Uganda to improve community healthcare by empowering community health workers to deliver life-saving care directly to families. Living Goods trains and deploys a network of community health workers (CHWs), who work as independent agents within their communities. Through its CHWs, Living Goods is providing door-to-door community health services. This includes diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases, pregnancy and newborn check-ups, family education on appropriate health and nutrition practices, and detection and referral of acute health cases to qualified facilities.
They partner with the Ugandan government and other organizations to implement programs that focus on maternal and child health, disease prevention, and promoting access to essential health services. Additionally, Living Goods community health workers sell health products to households at affordable prices, saving families the time and cost of travelling to clinics or shops. The range of products includes test kits and medicines for childhood disease diagnosis and treatment, family planning and nutrition products.
