"ADPHA helped us build strong groups in our sub-counties. These groups are now making sure we get included in everything. We're getting government support, wheelchairs, and even raising funds ourselves. We're finally making a difference."
Program Officer, Rakai Association of Persons with Disabilities living with HIV/AIDS and affected by TB (RADIPHA)
"We were forgetting about HIV/AIDS, but ADPHA Uganda reminded us. They helped us organize, get health services, and even start small businesses."
Beneficiary
"My business was struggling. But with their help, I went from five bunches of bananas to thirty. I'm making much more money and saving for the future."
Beneficiary
"For one year, I coughed. I didn't know it was TB. ADPHA came, helped me get tested, and now I'm on treatment. I'm so thankful. The coughing is much less now."
Beneficiary
"ADPHA helped us form LWEDIPHA and reach people in our community. They gave us funds for COVID-19 services, start-up capital for businesses, and training on running our association and managing TB. We're using phones to report TB access issues. We're teaching our members to work hard and live positively. We're also helping them access government programs. Without ADPHA, we'd still be suffering in silence."
Chairperson of LWEDIPHA
"We used to be left out of all government programs. We had no confidence. ADPHA trained us, and now we're involved in everything. We're getting funding, and even sitting on school boards. The stigma is gone!"
Beneficiary
"ADPHA built my leadership skills. Now, as chairperson of BUDIPHA, I'm helping our members access government programs and start businesses. We're educating our leaders about inclusion, and it's working."
Chairperson of the Bukomansimbi Association of persons with disabilities living with HIV/AIDS and those affected by TB (BUDIPHA)
