About This Project

Access to diagnostic testing remains a critical barrier in underserved communities. Without knowing their status, individuals cannot access treatment, and diseases spread unchecked.

Know My Status brought HIV, Malaria, and TB testing directly to fishing communities and urban areas in Wakiso District. Through mobile outreach, we removed barriers of distance, cost, and stigma—ensuring every person who tested positive was linked to care.
