Addressing Health Challenges in Mt. Elgon

Access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many in Mt. Elgon, where poverty, limited infrastructure, and stigma often prevent individuals from seeking help. Socially Organized Educative Team (SOET) addresses these barriers by providing health support services tailored to the unique needs of the community.

Combating HIV/AIDS and Other Diseases

SOET has a long history of fighting the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS in the region. Through awareness campaigns, testing and counseling, and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, the organization helps reduce stigma and improve health outcomes. SOET also addresses other prevalent diseases by promoting immunization, hygiene, and preventive care. Visit our health support page for more information.

Promoting Maternal and Child Health

Maternal and child health is a priority for SOET. The organization offers antenatal care, safe delivery services, and postnatal support for mothers and their babies. Nutrition education and routine health screenings ensure that children grow up healthy and strong.

Strengthening Community Health Systems

SOET trains community health volunteers and equips local health facilities to deliver essential services. Mobile clinics and outreach programs bring healthcare closer to remote and underserved populations, reducing travel barriers and improving access.

Supporting Mental Health and Psychosocial Well-Being

Mental health is an integral part of overall well-being. SOET provides counseling, psychosocial support, and group therapy for individuals affected by trauma, loss, or chronic illness. Learn more about our psychosocial support offerings.
