Where we work

From Rwanda to South Sudan

Local realities. Shared threat. Collective action.

Antimicrobial resistance is global, but its impact is experienced locally. The reasons people use medicines, access healthcare, prevent infections and respond to illness are shaped by their communities, health systems, economic realities, environment and access to information.

Rwanda

Building community awareness and prevention.

Our work includes community engagement, school and university outreach, Community Circles, WASH and infection prevention activities, youth participation, digital education and advocacy.

Why two countries?

Rwanda and South Sudan have different contexts and health system realities. We do not assume that one solution fits every community. We listen to local experiences, learn from communities, and adapt action to context.

Two countries. One commitment. Protecting communities. Preventing infections. Safeguarding antimicrobials. Strengthening health systems. Building a healthier future.
