RULIN works to improve the health and well-being of rural communities in Ika South Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State, Nigeria. The organization focuses on tackling tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS, and other communicable diseases. A key aspect of RULIN’s work is detecting TB and HIV/AIDS through community-based testing. Aware of the healthcare challenges in rural areas, RULIN brings testing directly to the people, often reaching the most remote villages. This approach ensures that individuals who might otherwise go undiagnosed receive the necessary care. After diagnosis, RULIN connects patients with appropriate treatment services, working closely with local healthcare providers to ensure timely medical support.

In addition to testing and treatment, RULIN extends care to vulnerable households through home visit support. This service is crucial for those who may struggle to access healthcare facilities due to distance, mobility issues, or financial constraints. The home visits provide not only medical assistance but also emotional and practical support, helping families manage their health more effectively. The organization emphasizes the importance of good hygiene practices, teaching individuals and families how to prevent the spread of infections and improve overall health. These educational efforts are especially important in areas where access to health information may be limited, and where basic hygiene practices can significantly reduce the risk of disease.

RULIN also focuses on monitoring the nutritional status of children in these rural communities. Malnutrition is a persistent problem that can worsen health issues and hinder children’s development. To address this, RULIN monitors children’s nutrition, identifies those at risk, and provides necessary nutritional support, ensuring that children receive adequate food and nutrients for healthy growth.
