In the struggle to support pregnant mothers living with HIV to have HIV free babies Kitovu Mobile has gone ahead to sensitize women at child bearing age.. The sensitization meetings have targeted both pregnant mothers and non pregnant mothers specifically on how they can protect their babies before and after delivery.
This activity was spear headed by kitovu Mobile staff members with outstanding skills in community mobilization and co-ordination, so this group played significant role to put the community on board more so the pregnant mothers who were the main target of this project however, the presence of their husbands was also expected. Mothers were encouraged to always visit our centers for HIV counselling and testing. During the sensitization meetings participants received some tips on how they can take care of themselves and their newly babies. It was amazing that women developed a work plan on how they intend to receive such trainings.
Since August this year over 60 women have been tested and advised by the medical personnel.
