Faster Identification of High-Risk Contacts
By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader
Impact Update – Faster Identification of High-Risk Contacts
Your support is helping significantly improve how quickly high-risk contacts are identified and monitored.
Before these interventions, delays in identifying contacts increased the risk of further spread. Now, with stronger systems in place, response teams are acting faster and more efficiently.
With your help, we have:
- Expanded the number of trained contact tracers
- Improved coordination between community alerts and response teams
- Strengthened rapid follow-up procedures for exposed individuals
As a result, high-risk contacts are being identified earlier and monitored more closely during the critical period.
This faster response is helping prevent new cases before they emerge.
Because of your support, the response is becoming more proactive—and more effective at stopping Ebola in its tracks.

Supporting Frontline Health Workers in Action
By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader
Because of your support, frontline health workers are now better prepared and protected as they respond to Ebola cases in real time.
In one treatment setting in Kampala, a healthcare worker shared how access to proper protective equipment and updated training has changed how they manage patients. Previously, limited supplies and uncertainty increased risk. Today, they are able to confidently provide care while following strict safety protocols.
With your contributions, we have:
- Equipped frontline staff with essential protective gear
- Delivered training on infection prevention and safe patient handling
- Strengthened facility-level safety procedures
As a result, health workers are safer, more confident, and more effective in their roles.
Your support is not only improving systems—it is directly impacting the people risking their lives to save others.

Improved Community Reporting Rates
By Zachery Onyango | Project Leader
Impact Update – Improved Community Reporting Rates
One of the most encouraging outcomes of your support is the increase in community-led reporting of suspected Ebola cases.
Before these efforts, fear, stigma, and lack of information often delayed reporting. Now, with expanded awareness and engagement, communities are taking action.
With your help, we have:
- Reached hundreds of individuals with clear, accurate health information
- Engaged trusted local leaders to encourage early reporting
- Reduced misinformation that previously discouraged people from seeking help
As a result, more suspected cases are being reported earlier, allowing faster response and reducing the risk of spread.
This shift toward proactive reporting is a major step forward in controlling the outbreak.
Your impact is empowering communities to act—and that is saving lives.
