We're delighted to share an Ebola Progress Update
Mbarara Rise Foundation (MRF) is grateful for the support received towards our Ebola response activities. The funding has enabled us to strengthen community awareness and provide practical support to vulnerable communities during a period of heightened public health concern.
Activities Implemented
With the support received, MRF did conduct community awareness and sensitisation activities focused on Ebola prevention, early recognition of symptoms, hygiene practices, and the importance of seeking medical attention when necessary.
We also supported communities with basic hygiene and protective supplies to promote safer practices and reduce the risk of transmission. Our team worked closely with community members and local stakeholders to share accurate health information and encourage appropriate preventive measures.
Key Results
• Community members received information on Ebola prevention and protection.
• Vulnerable community members were supported with basic hygiene and protective supplies.
• Community awareness on hygiene, early identification of symptoms, and timely referral was strengthened.
• MRF was able to respond to community concerns and provide practical health information at grassroots level.
Impact
The support has strengthened our ability to respond quickly to community health needs and reach people who may have limited access to reliable public health information and protective resources.
We are particularly grateful for the flexibility and timely support, which has allowed our team to remain engaged with communities and contribute to Ebola prevention efforts.
Next Steps
MRF will continue monitoring community needs, providing health information, and supporting prevention and awareness activities where resources allow. We will also continue documenting stories and lessons from the response and share further updates with GlobalGiving.
Conclusion
We sincerely thank GlobalGiving and its supporters for the continued partnership and confidence in Mbarara Rise Foundation. The support has made it possible for us to take practical action at community level and contribute to protecting vulnerable communities during the Ebola response and Uganda was declared EBOLA free Country.
