Service delivery operates through a combination of fixed-facility care at the SYM headquarters (ROHERO I, Avenue Bubanza No. 15, Bujumbura) and mobile clinics that travel to underserved rural communities, supported by community health workers and partnerships with local health facilities. Reported outcome metrics include 211 of 212 children born HIV-free to HIV-positive mothers after 18-month testing (99.5% rate), 35,696 medical consultations, 118,626 people reached through health education and promotion, 15,782 people assisted through income-generating activities, and 180 beneficiaries under opioid agonist treatment. Marketing and outreach are conducted via a bilingual (French/English) website, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), and a newsletter.

SYM is funded through grants and donations from a diversified international donor base including USAID, UNDP, GIZ, Segal Family Foundation, Gould Family Foundation, Expertise France/L'Initiative, the Embassy of France in Burundi, Jesuit Missions Germany and UK, and Fondation MAGIS, with strategic and technical partners including the Burundi Ministry of Health (MINISANTE), ICAP at Columbia University, AJAN, CARE International Burundi, Action Damien Belgium, PNLS, ANSS Santé Plus, and Red Cross Burundi.
