Community Based Programs

UHI utilizes local resources to address health, social, and economic needs directly within communities by strengthening social networks and fostering resilience. Our community-based programs are structured into 3 key categories.

1. HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION

Preventive Health Education

In this program, we provide knowledge on nutrition, physical activity, tobacco cessation, and chronic disease management.

Community Health Workers

We train local residents to deliver health services (counselling, screenings, and education), and act as bridges between communities and health facilities.

Mental Health Support Networks

In this program, we provide peer-to-peer support, mobile teams, and community-based mental health care integrated into schools and workplaces to promote recovery and reduce isolation.

2. SOCIAL AND FAMILY STABILITY

Holistic Family Services

This program is designed to address multiple risk factors simultaneously, including poverty, social isolation, and mental health issues.

Community Development Initiatives

This program focuses efforts on enhancing economic, social, and environmental conditions. These include vocational training, job training, and infrastructure improvements.

Youth Mentoring and Development

In this program, we provide safe environments, life skills training, and after-school opportunities to foster stability for children and teenagers.

Child and Family Support

In this program, we provide transitional care for vulnerable children, child sponsorship programs, and illness care/education initiatives that strengthen family structures.

3. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Community-Led Initiatives

In these programs we involve community members in their own design and implementation, which has proven to be more effective in enhancing community well-being.

Neighborhood Associations

In these programs we create local groups dedicated to improving the quality of life through civic engagement and addressing local concerns.
