Connection to SayPro Health Care Wellness (GBV Awareness & Health Services)
Proof of prior involvement is particularly relevant for participants interested in:
- GBV Awareness and Advocacy – e.g., volunteer work in shelters, survivor support groups, legal aid, community education.
- Health Services – e.g., HIV testing and counselling, health screening facilitation, first aid, mental health workshops, or public health campaigns.
- Community Outreach – e.g., health fairs, wellness days, or awareness events targeting underserved populations.
Such proof demonstrates a commitment to improving health and wellbeing in the community, aligning perfectly with SayPro’s mission to promote GBV awareness and health care access.
