Today’s conversations build on that commitment. @TbWomenGlobal @realTBpeople @Yplus_Global @ajws @StopTB @CS4MEglobal @GlobalFund #TBWomenLeadershipAcademy2026 #WhenWomenLeadChangeHappens

Kenya is among the 13 countries where the Near Point of Care (NPOC) is being rolled out. Now available at affordable pricing, the new tests make decentralized, high-quality molecular diagnostics possible at scale, creating an opportunity to transform the fight against TB. #endtb

Some words were spoken once, but we’ve carried them for years. Between what people told us and what we came to believe, our identities took shape. But who told you that you are who you think you are? What if they were wrong? WHO TOLD YOU THAT? 💜 Our identity campaign..

One girl married every three seconds, that's the scale of child marriage worldwide, according to UNICEF. October 11 marks the International Day of the Girl Child, themed "End child marriage and invest in girls' rights." Today calls for ending child marriage, however, we at Society for AIDS in Africa believed that child defilement should be ended, investing in education and legal reform, and amplifying the voices and leadership of girls everywhere. #Societyforaidsinafrica #SAA #DayOfTheGirl #EndChildMarriage #GirlsRights

The funny thing about being the one who is hurting is that the world doesn't stop. People laugh. Life goes on. Everyone has somewhere to be. And you learn to carry things nobody knows you're carrying. Simbi is getting very good at that. Perhaps a little too good.
