The aim is to promote holistic health in rural communities.

The main objectives include:

• To put emphasis on Health Education and Prevention, especially of the major killer diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS & other STDs
• To promote Primary Health Care and Home-based Palliative care Services
• To promote good nutrition and hygienic & clean living environment (involving building improved, strong and more permanent houses)
• To provide clean drinking water and sanitation
• To promote strong families with good relationships by setting up services for marriage counseling, family planning, and child care; and 
• To facilitate setting up community Health Centres in remote communities, to bring essential Health services closer to communities.

Current Activities & Projects: Continuous community health education and awareness raising in general good health practices and habits as well as in major diseases especially HIV/AIDS (which involves voluntary testing for HIV sero status). Projects include a) a Hospice Project providing Home-based Palliative Care Services for the terminally ill in their homes in villages. This project is a partnership between FADO-T and Ngora Freda Carr Hospital, but FADO-T is founder and responsible for fundraising and running its activities. b) Water and Sanitation which will be implemented soon in partnership with the Ngora district local government.
