Dear friends and supporters,
Case Study: Empowering Ahmed Through Community Health Work
Ahmed is a resilient 7-year-old boy facing a multitude of challenges due to hearing loss, visual impairment, seizures, and behavioural issues stemming from meningitis. Despite these obstacles, Ahmed's determination shines brightly.
Ahmed's mother, committed to providing him with the best possible care, sought assistance not only from the free government hospital but also from a compassionate MAITS Community Health Worker (CHW). This collaboration has been pivotal in Ahmed's journey toward improved well-being.
Going beyond clinical support, the CHW serves as a guiding force for Ahmed's family. By imparting simple yet effective techniques, the CHW empowers Ahmed's mother to engage him in play and small household tasks, fostering his independence and growth.
Through their steadfast support and advocacy, the CHW ensures that Ahmed receives comprehensive care tailored to his needs. This collaborative effort underscores the transformative potential of community-based care and compassionate support.
Ahmed's story shows his resilience and underscores the profound impact of community-driven healthcare.

On behalf of the MAITS team, thank you for your continued support of this impactful project.
