Our Beneficiaries Say

Partnering with Stowelink Foundation on the NCDs 365 project has been one of the most impactful collaborations we’ve undertaken at SOB Nutrition.

The NCD Course has enlightened me and empowered me with knowledge on how NCD’s can be prevented and Managed in our community, it has also encouraged me as a community health volunteer and Public Health advocate that there is hope if duty bearers can be put into task to offer the expected Health Rights
