HEALTH

YAH exist to improve health outcomes of community through health team with vast experience in medicine, public health, and community development to bridge the gap between communities and the health care system. We are confident that community health outcomes can be improved through parallel development of community and the medical profession’s capacity and project implemetation to support prevention, care and treatment of diseases and illness. Using a rights-based approach, YAH promotes sustainable, community-based interventions, such as disease prevention, Treatment and Management, Health Training, and Capacity Building at both the individual and institutional level targeting the community at large.

PROTECTION

With inclusion and gender concern, YAH advocate for the protection of children and women’s rights to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. This is so because of our continuous provision of immediate support for children and other persons affected by abuse towards their healing, recovery, reconciliation and self-reliance. We also ensure that the community fully meets its rights and needs of individuals who experienced abuse and now the established Independent Special Commission to review past cases and recommend further investigation and governance improvement.
