Fifty healthcare providers were trained as UpLeap Trainers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to use the UpLeap mobile application - an innovative digital platform providing accessible, practical knowledge on the prevention and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

The training is designed around a cascade model, with the 50 trained healthcare providers expected to share and replicate the knowledge gained with their fellow healthcare workers. This approach aims to extend the reach of NCD capacity building beyond the initial group of trainers and strengthen the availability of NCD knowledge across primary healthcare facilities.

The capacity-building programme was successfully conducted, with participants actively engaging with the platform and demonstrating their ability to navigate and utilise its NCD learning content.

The initiative represents a first-of-its-kind approach to NCD management capacity building, leveraging mobile technology to make continuous learning and knowledge sharing more accessible to healthcare providers. By combining digital learning with a trainer-of-trainers model, UpLeap has the potential to support a sustainable and scalable approach to strengthening NCD management within the health system.

At Camp Mukundi, Ashely found more than just a camp experience. She found a place where her condition did not define her, where she made friends who understood, and where she discovered just how strong her heart truly is.

Watch her story below and see how Camp Mukundi is changing lives, one camper at a time.

Day Two at Camp Mukundi, sun-soaked and bright!
Even our medics traded stethoscopes for smiles today.
Games were won, laughter ran free, a camp full of joy, wild as the sea.

Prizes held high and victories were sung.

Here's to the fun and the warriors we have become.

Just like that, the warriors have arrived! Day 1 at Camp Mukundi was all about connection, learning, sharing and building confidence in living with chronic conditions.

The day began with health checks and blood glucose monitoring, followed by an opening circle where our warriors got to know one another, understand their conditions and share their expectations for camp.

From “Real Talk: Sharing Our Journeys” to breakout sessions on Type 1 Diabetes, Congenital and Rheumatic Heart Disease, sickle cell anemia, insulin management, cardiac surgery and post-surgery care, the warriors were equipped with knowledge to better understand and manage their conditions.

The conversations went beyond clinical care. Sessions on sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, growing up and transitioning created safe spaces for young people to ask questions, share experiences and learn from one another.

Camp Mukundi is not all classroom work!

The afternoon brought team-building challenges, games and plenty of laughter, strengthening the bonds that make the camp special.

Day 1 was a reminder that a diagnosis does not define a warrior. Knowledge builds confidence. Community builds strength. And together, we can face the journey.

Good health starts with access to quality healthcare, right in the community.

At Boli Muhlanguleni Market in rural Chiredzi District, SolidarMed, together with the Ministry of Health and Child Care, brought integrated healthcare services closer to the people through a community outreach.

Hundreds of community members accessed free health education, screening and services for diabetes, hypertension and oral health, helping to promote early detection, prevention and timely management of non-communicable diseases.

By integrating essential health services into community outreach activities, we are reducing barriers to care and empowering people with the knowledge and support they need to live healthier lives.

Together, we are bringing quality healthcare closer to those who need it most.

At just 11 years old, Kailey Tanda missed an entire school term.

It started with severe headaches, a sore throat and difficulty breathing. Living with her grandmother while her parents are based in South Africa, Kailey was carried on her grandmother’s back to the nearest health facility. She was initially treated for asthma, but her condition did not improve.

A referral to a private doctor followed. After three days of admission and spending around US$600, Kailey still did not have a diagnosis. With no answers and their hope fading, Kailey and her grandmother returned home.

Then, during a routine community visit, a NCD-trained Village Health Worker conducted a random blood sugar test. The results were extremely high.

Kailey was referred to Ndanga District Hospital, where her blood sugars were stabilised through the SolidarMed-supported NCD clinic. She was later enrolled into the NCD cohort at Bota Rural Health Centre, closer to home.

At Bota, Sr Matswe supported Kailey and her grandmother with practical knowledge on diabetes management, including diet, insulin injection techniques and correct dosages.

With this support, Kailey returned to the classroom.

For children and young people living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), access to insulin and regular blood glucose monitoring is not a luxury, it is essential for survival.

Through the support of Life for a Child (LFAC), children and young people living with T1D in marginalised communities receive access to essential diabetes care, including insulin, glucose testing strips and glucometers.

For families facing financial hardship, these life-saving supplies can be difficult and sometimes impossible to afford at local pharmacies.

This support helps ensure that children can manage their condition, stay in school and live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Every child deserves access to the care they need to thrive.

Youth deserve opportunities that equip them not only with skills for employment, but also with the knowledge and confidence to make healthy, informed choices.

PEGISUS is transforming the lives of adolescents and young adults across Masvingo through a holistic approach that combines vocational training, health education, substance use prevention and the promotion of gender equity.

In a region where youth unemployment and social challenges continue to impact young people, PEGISUS is creating pathways to opportunity, resilience, and hope. By building practical job skills while challenging harmful gender norms and encouraging healthy behaviours, the program is nurturing a generation of empowered, socially conscious young leaders.

Together, we are investing in young people who are not only prepared for the workforce but are also equipped to create stronger, healthier and more inclusive communities.

At SolidarMed, we are committed to taking positive action towards climate neutrality while promoting recycling across all our offices and projects.

Every small action counts. By reducing waste, reusing resources and embracing environmentally responsible practices, we are creating healthier communities.

Together with our staff and partners, we are raising awareness and inspiring positive climate action because a sustainable future starts with the choices we make today.

Through trained Peer Leaders, we have created safe, judgement-free spaces in health facilities where young people can openly discuss their health concerns, ask questions, and access services with confidence.

These welcoming environments are improving health-seeking behaviour by encouraging adolescents to visit health facilities earlier, adhere to treatment, seek accurate health information, and make informed decisions about their well-being.

By breaking down fear and stigma, we're helping more young people take the first step towards healthier lives.
