Support Community-Led Ebola Containment in Uganda

Frontline workers are at the heart of the Ebola response, but they also face the highest risk of exposure. Because of your support, protective measures for these workers are being strengthened.

Health workers and community volunteers are receiving essential protective supplies and guidance on safe practices. This ensures that they can carry out their duties with reduced risk.

As a result, frontline teams are better protected and more confident in their work. This not only safeguards their health but also ensures continuity in response efforts.

Protecting those who protect others is a critical component of outbreak control.

Your support is helping maintain a strong and resilient frontline workforce—ensuring that communities continue to receive the care and support they need.

Schools play a vital role in shaping behavior and spreading awareness. With your support, Ebola prevention programs are being strengthened within schools across border communities.

Teachers and students are being equipped with knowledge on Ebola symptoms, hygiene practices, and prevention strategies. School health clubs are actively promoting handwashing and sharing information with peers and families.

As a result, students are becoming ambassadors for health within their communities. They are reinforcing prevention messages at home and encouraging their families to adopt safer practices.

These school-based interventions create a ripple effect, extending the reach of awareness efforts beyond the classroom.

Your support is helping build a generation that is informed, proactive, and committed to protecting community health—both now and in the future.
