All smiles for Judith

Judith was the first Community Health Worker for MED25 and has always loved working with others. When she was given the opportunity to train as a Community Health Worker, she knew she found the right job. Judith is seen as a light to her community. Judith’s main goal is to help decrease the 37% HIV infection rate in her community through education programs at high schools and businesses in the area.

In Mbita, Kenya, many individuals struggle to eat two meals a day. Visiting a health care facility is often out of the question simply because people can’t afford it. Thanks to MED25 Community Health Workers, we are able to bring trained individuals to people’s homes at no cost to them.

Judith has a heart of gold, an outgoing personality, and the gift of connecting with her patients. She is determined to make a difference in this world, one individual at a time. By sponsoring Judith, you have helped serve 185 households, reaching over 1,100 individuals. Thank you all for your support!
