In the remote pastoralist setting of Beduleale Kebele (Worer Adobtele District) Afar Region , 30-year-old mother of four, Fatuma Aytile, is proving that true leadership and heroism come from the heart.
Despite facing the daily challenges of long distances, household duties, and livestock care, Fatuma is a true pillar of strength in her community. As a trained TB community volunteer under the Expertise France Pastoralist Community TB Project, she has gone above and beyond to protect her neighbors:
👉In the early 2026 alone, Fatuma played a crucial role in identifying presumptive cases, directly contributing to the detection of 3 confirmed TB cases in her area.
👉She actively follows up on 3 neighborhood TB patients, ensuring treatment adherence, continuity, and essential psychosocial encouragement.
👉Even during childbirth, her husband stepped up to maintain uninterrupted TB screening services, showcasing a powerful, positive shift in community gender roles.
‼️Fatuma’s story demonstrates that when empowered and supported, mothers do not only give life they also save lives.‼️
Her journey shows us that community-led action and grassroots health volunteers are our strongest tools in the fight against TB.

‼️Strong Leadership for Effective TB Program
Translating national health strategies into local action requires robust leadership, optimized resources & proactive measures to bridge gaps in TB detection & treatment. Strong program management is vital to saving lives & achieving our ultimate goal ending TB.
To strengthen these capacities on the front lines, REACH Ethiopia through the Urban TB LON II Project, in collaboration with the Addis Ababa Health Bureau recently conducted a comprehensive 4-day TB program management training, successfully equipping 32 TB program leaders from across all Addis Ababa sub-cities with the essential skills & strategic knowledge needed to drive impactful change in their communities.

REACH Ethiopia received special recognition from the Central Ethiopia Regional Health Bureau during its 2018 EFY TB Program Review Meeting, being honored as an outstanding partner for project implementation in the Gurage & East Gurage zones.
We made vital contributions to the region's TB response by driving large scale screenings that reached over 221,000 individuals. This was achieved through the deployment of advanced AI-powered portable X-ray technology for vulnerable populations, alongside the delivery of clinical milestones such as 100% child TPT coverage & high treatment success rates.
These achievements were made possible by the Urban TB LON II Project, supported by the U.S. Department of State – Foreign Assistance Division.
