What We Do

BSDA is committed to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable communities by addressing critical challenges such as HIV/AIDS, drug use, diarrhea, and pneumonia. Our focus is on groups that face barriers to healthcare, including people living with HIV/AIDS, drug users, injection drug users, and caregivers of young children. These populations often experience limited access to services, low health awareness, and stigma, particularly impacting youth, women, and low-income families.To respond, BSDA implements the Home-Based Care on Health Awareness Services program, which combines preventive education with community engagement.
