Our priorities for Nyaka grandmothers and children are prevention, nutrition, early testing, and eligible immunization. Nyaka works with two Village Health Team (VHT) members to provide reliable information and mobilization in our community areas. VHT team members assist with health education, especially during immunization days, and follow up patients who miss immunization appointments. VHT team members also conduct home health visits to provide education on COVID-19 prevention through hand washing, use of face masks, social distancing as well as encouraging household members to get vaccinated.

On Monday, January 10th, 2022 Nyaka welcomed children back to school! In order to keep our community safe, teachers and support staff have been vaccinated. Daily, staff members are doing all they can to follow the strict Ugandan Ministry of Health’s (MoH) operating guidelines including cleaning, maintenance, the provision of hand washing stations, masks for all students, plans for COVID-19 safe classrooms, etc. Medical personnel from the local Kambuga hospital, have visited Nyaka to address staff and students at the Nyaka Vocational Secondary School (NVSS) to provide additional guidance on how to stay safe.
Nyaka has a new coffee table book 'For Our Children’s Sake' available now. To learn more about how to get your copy click HERE!
