Tufayo
TB Awareness Project
"Tufayo" means "We Care" in Luganda. Our mission is to bridge the critical information gap that contributes to Uganda's alarming TB prevalence rates.
Funded by the Global Fund and supervised by Baylor Uganda, we're combating tuberculosis through comprehensive community awareness, screening, and capacity building programs.

Bridging the Information Gap
The alarming TB statistics in Uganda—253 cases per 100 adults and 36 cases per 1000 children— are primarily attributed to a critical information gap among the population.
Our project specifically targets Kayunga Town Council and sub-county areas, focusing on youth in identified hotspots where TB transmission rates are highest.
Through strategic partnerships with the Global Fund and Baylor Uganda, we implement evidence-based interventions that address both immediate health needs and long-term organizational capacity building.
