"Euniter is a mother of three and is married in Lwala village in North Kamagambo-Migori County. While working closely with her mother in law who was an unskilled nurse at the community, Euniter felt a strong desire to bridge the gap between poor community members who could not afford to acquire formal health care services. She decided to involve herself in Lwala Community Alliance’s health interventions where she acquired knowledge and gained relevant skills that enabled her to manage community health issues at the community level in a more efficient way.
Euniter has undergone training on integrated programs in various community interventions including sexual reproductive health, maternal child health, water sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, HIV/AIDs and early childhood development. These programs are vital in the wellbeing, development and sustainability of the community and health outcomes. She is a team leader in charge of 96 community health workers in North Kamagambo where she is responsible for planning and coordination of all community health and clinical activities. As a community member, she plays a critical in recruiting community health workers and mentoring youth peer providers.
Euniter possesses true passion for community work and her commitment and contribution has been
recognized by Lwala community. In addition to her role as a team leader, she is now a trainer of trainers at Lwala Community Alliance."
