Project Report | Aug 4, 2014
Summer in Eastern DRC

Hard at work-Amandine & friends

Friends of CCD,

Improving the health of children is a community effort! Over the summer, as the kids enjoy their break, we have been very encouraged by teachers', parents’ and children’s enthusiasm. As we have been told by a teacher (Amandine, third from the left) – “This simple Soap distribution and Education program will improve the chances of our kids living to get their high school diplomas”. Here is what we have been up to in the last 4 months:

  • Assisted in the construction of a well in two tiny villages on the south Kivu area
  • Used local clinics and hospitals as central locations to reach out to parents and children
  • Joined Water and Sanitation projects headed by small local NGOs.

In the future, we are considering programming a weekly radio broadcast at 3 local radio stations to disseminate hygiene and sanitation information. In Baraka and surrounding areas, about 90% of the population has access to radio either directly or through a neighbor, which means that we would have the potential to reach more than 180,000 people every week. 

Any contribution to this radio project would be greatly appreciated, please share with friends and family! Thank you for the continued support you have shown us.
