Street-connected children have access to doctors who provide expert consultations on health matters, focusing on healthy lifestyles and potential health risks.

This includes interventions for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or counseling aimed at maintaining or enhancing mental health, particularly in addressing mental or behavioral disorders such as Conduct Disorder among street-connected children.

Encompasses every stage of wound management, including diagnosing the type of wound, evaluating factors that influence healing, and determining the appropriate treatment. After diagnosing the wound and considering all relevant factors, we implement the most effective treatment options.

The program engages medical volunteers and staff from Bisou Bailey Dispensary, who are responsible for triaging street-connected children (SCC) on the streets of Mwanza. They facilitate transport to the dispensary for medical consultations, laboratory investigations, medication, and health promotion. On average, the program serves about 30 patients per outreach, addressing common conditions such as wounds, urinary tract infections, typhoid, worms, and skin diseases.

  • Tug of War
