| Organization Description: | |
| Vision Statement. Economically stable community, healthy, self employed living in a safe environment. Mission Statement To free the community from extreme poverty, environmental destruction, diseases, ignorance and unemployment through education, interaction and support. One of the challenges that TB faces is that it has such a low profile among both policy-makers and the general public. Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease killer at the moment. The recent surveillance reports have showed that more people die from TB every year than from HIV or any other infectious disease. So it’s critically important that we tackle TB. As ACOT we would like to be champion of empowering communities to address local health needs. One of our objective is to empower the community on health strengthening and fight against TB/aids etc. |
