Screening on the Farm to Save Lives!

Its coffee harvesting season across Southern Ethiopia! As local farmers head into the fields to pick ripe coffee cherries, our team alongside dedicated Health Extension Workers is right there with them in Kebicha Kebele (Yirgacheffe Town, Gedeo Zone).

Instead of waiting for individuals to visit health facilities, we are bringing active tuberculosis (TB) screening and awareness directly to the farm sites. By meeting workers where they are, we ensure early detection and help make sure no case goes unnoticed during this busy harvest season.

This critical outreach is powered by the America First Global Health Strategy (AFGHS-RE) Project, with support from the U.S. Department of State.

REACH Ethiopia grew out of a TB project that started in 2010. This project introduced an innovative community package that engaged health extension workers (HEWs) to increase TB case detection and treatment adherence.
