Project Report | May 23, 2011
Health Update

By Tom Arsenault | Overseas Program Manager

The rapid spread of cholera was overwhelming at the time this project was initiated.  May – Sep. are dry months in Zimbabwe so this threat is diminished. ASAP has a large team of volunteer women peer educators already working together for the benefit of their villages, regardless of how remote. Training will be conducted in household practices to prevent transmission of disease such as cholera & malaria as well as growing and using medicinal herbs and improving diet to promote good health.
ASAP’s approach is very cost-effective to make your donation go a long way! ASAP provides training of trainers workshops for these inspirational and motivated women who are already regularly meeting with the poor women they are helping. The need for disease prevention and general health practices remains critical and we hope you will continue to support this important work. Good health is a treasure, often taken for granted. Your contribution will keep this cherished treasure secure. -T
