Residents of Kigungu’s Makusa landing site on the shores of Lake Victoria gathered quietly under the tree on February 14, not for Valentine’s celebration, but for something many said was far more urgent, access to healthcare and legal information.
The community outreach, led by Family Medical Point in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Abaita Ababiri in Formation, provided free medical, counselling and legal support services to women and girls, a group health workers describe as among the most exposed to health and safety risks in fishing settlements.
