Community Volunteers are the heart of Target TB鈥檚 work, they are trained to recognise symptoms and provide information to those who may be at risk of TB. These volunteers deliver drugs and food, emotional support and practical advocacy essential for the survival of TB patients.

Target TB works in remote areas and areas with little health infrastructure, we work to ensure these barriers are overcome. One of the ways that we do this is by providing mobile clinic, like our a 4x4 vehicle in Eastern India, that is fully equipped with diagnostic facilities, doctors and health staff.聽 This provides immediate testing, reaching hundreds of people with essential TB information.

On average we spend 拢10 per person to deliver our lifesaving work

Health Education is an investment in a world free from TB. We use engaging fun methods to make sure lifesaving information about TB is available in communities. These are memorable and accessible regardless of literacy levels and make a real difference to the stigma that people who have been affected by TB live with.
