ASHWA

Through our partnership with | Carrefour International under the Scholars for Social Change program, our scholars have been able to their “Annual Leadership & Mentorship Forum 2025”.

For the past year, these exceptional young leaders have been part of the ASHWA journey gaining valuable skills, building strong networks, and growing as changemakers dedicated to fostering positive community impact. Their passion, resilience, and commitment to making a difference continue to inspire us.

As we continue walking alongside them, we look forward to providing more opportunities for leadership growth, mentorship, and real-world experience. Being a youth-led organization, ASHWA remains committed to empowering the next generation to lead with purpose and create a healthier, more equitable future.

We hosted a Community-Led Monitoring feedback meeting at the community level bringing together community members, health facility representatives, and district officials. During the session, we presented the findings from data collected across enrolled health facilities, focusing on HIV, TB, and malaria services. The open discussion provided a platform for the community to share their experiences and raise concerns, ensuring that the voices of service users directly inform health service improvements.

We have been able to co-create practical recommendations aimed at improving accessibility, quality, and responsiveness of healthcare services in Busia. This collaborative effort reinforces the importance of community ownership in driving health system accountability and positive change.

Grateful to our partners The AIDS Support Organisation-TASO and participants who contributed to advancing health equity in our communities.
