Lady Mermaid Empowerment Centre (LMEC) hosted the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Uganda Country Director, Dr. Mary Boyd and other CDC delegatiin, Uganda AIDS Commission, Ministry of Health , Infectious Diseases Institute - Makerere University and Uganda Key Populations Consortium.
Yesterday, marked a powerful milestone as Dr Mary Boyd connected directly with communities at our Drop-In Center and co-located clinic.
From honest conversations on economic empowerment to meaningful discussions on access to health services, this was more than a visit, it was a moment of listening, learning, and shared commitment.
Community voices were heard, experiences were shared, and solutions were shaped together. This engagement reaffirmed that real impact happens when leadership meets communities where they are.
We move forward inspired, with stronger partnerships and a renewed focus on delivering inclusive, responsive services that truly meet community needs.
