Covid-19 Emergency
As the coronavirus spreads across the globe, there is growing concern that Africa is likely to face a major outbreak – which would be a catastrophe in a continent already struggling to provide basic necessity to its people.
Living in the Gambia, and understanding the challenges we face as a nation, we knew we couldn’t take a back seat on this fight but to join our ministry of Health in this fight.
The target population of this project includes the following:
- Covid-19 sensitization on public awareness campaign via our social media platforms, community out reach and door-to-door campaign
- Telephone calls sensitization, we have been working with over 600 families and we have all their addresses and contact details to be able to call each household and have a positive dialogue with them that could help them understand more about safety precautions of covid-19
- Providing food aid packages to the most vulnerable households
- Supporting people with special needs communities that are often forgotten that they deserve a special care
- Using our platforms/media to voice out the concern and struggles the less privileged are going through in their homes & communities.
