The West Point Women for Health and Development Organization (WPWHDO) continued with the Ebola response in another way, the psychosocial support to survivors and victims families in the Township of West Point starting from zone 401- 407 helping the entire victims and survivors know that someone cares, even though we couldn’t give them their entire needs.
At some point in time, 3 of the orphans received school fees for a semester and 2 others who were in dying needs received a whole year school fees from funds provided by Globalgiving enabling them avoid future school fees embarrassment.
Another thing WPWHDO did was to keep photo dairy and data base for all of the survivors, victims and orphans who came to the Women’s Center for help, we helped link all of them to other organizations for help through the data we collected on them in the community.
These people are still our problem; they come to us when they have other issues within their neighborhood. There‘re the issue of dispute resolution, education on proper hygiene and the danger of violence in the community especially Gender Based Violence.
The counselors goes into the community twice a week to do visitation and periodic check on how the victim families and orphans are doing especially looking at the new lifting of Ebola head in the Margibi County belt. The counselors are acting as outreachers now sensitizing people to keep safe and that Ebola is not over yet. To know that our awareness is taking effect in the community, there are many people who are seen putting their hand washing buckets back outside.
WPWHDO is still in the vanguard to stop the spread of Ebola in West Point and Liberia, we kindly ask our donors on Globalgiving and the Globalgiving family to continue remembering and helping us fundraise so as to help us help humanity.
Our heartfelt thanks to all of you our donors who help us stop the spread of Ebola in West Point and surroundings even though the fight is not over yet though Liberia has been declare Ebola free on May 9, 2015.
THANKS A MILLION!!!
