Oyugis integrated project is a non-profit organization that supports the less fortunate persons infected or affected with HIV. We are located within Oyugis town opposite St. Peter Catholic Church. For over twenty years we have been supporting the vulnerable with education, food, clothing, housing and empowerment programs for women and youth. We appreciate you for being part of our community. With the support of our friends and neighbors like you, we have been able to accomplish a lot over the past years. Currently we have sponsoring over 50 orphans, providing food to the handicaped, offering free medical support to over 2000 HIV positive clients who visit our dispensary every year and offering vocational training to teenage girls who are victims and early pregnancy and school drop out. Your kind donation of books, clothes, sanitary pads, textile and food will save lives and bring hope to the most venerable persons in our community. To make your contribution more visible we are pleased to recognize your company in our meetings as well as our newsletters highlighting your generosity. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Home-Based Care (HBC) Guidebook

 On October 31, 2024, Shirikisho Dispensary proudly launched the new Home-Based Care (HBC) Guidebook, a comprehensive resource designed to strengthen and support our ongoing care for people living with HIV/AIDS. The guidebook provides volunteers and caregivers with structured, evidence-based approaches to enhance palliative care, medical assistance, and holistic support, reinforcing our commitment to providing compassionate, community-based health services. The HBC Guidebook was created to serve as a foundational tool in our future planning and development of care strategies. By offering step-by-step guidance on managing patients' physical, emotional, and social needs, the guidebook will empower our volunteer caregivers to deliver consistent, high-quality care. Additionally, it includes practical advice on infection control, nutritional support, and psychological counseling, ensuring that care remains comprehensive and patient-centered. The guidebook will be instrumental in standardizing care practices across our teams, enhancing the effectiveness of the home-based care program. With this resource, Shirikisho Dispensary is better equipped to train new volunteers, improve service quality, and expand the reach of our support to more families in need. As we look forward, the guidebook will also serve as a key reference as we adapt to emerging challenges and evolving patient needs. 

The launch of the HBC Guidebook marks a significant milestone in the Oyugis Integrated Project’s dedication to compassionate and sustainable community care. We extend our gratitude to all who contributed to its development and look forward to the continued impact this guide will bring to our caregivers and the community.
