| Organization Description: |
FUGI is a non-governmental organisation, actively committed to helping the rural people, (especially rural women and children) as well as rural and peri-urban associations and institutions to become more aware of themselves and their environment and increase their effectiveness to fight disease, poverty and enhance their well-being.
Early detection and treatment of TB is a key indicator of disease prevention and poverty alleviation, hence, FUGI's interest in being interested in tuberculosis detection, early treatment, prevention and control.
FUGI hopes to receive further funding to continue with its Community Action Against TB. |
