ENGAGING COMMUNITIES

Community engagement is essential to building trust, increasing awareness, improving access to services, and ensuring that care is responsive to the needs of people affected by TB. At REACH, we work closely with TB survivors and affected communities, recognising their lived experience as a powerful driver of change. As peer supporters and advocates, TB survivors play a critical role in bridging the gap between health systems and communities by encouraging early care-seeking, supporting treatment adherence, reducing stigma, and strengthening community ownership of the TB response.
