Urgent Ebola Support: Save DRC-Uganda Border Lives

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your continued generosity, we are working to ensure that vulnerable households are not overlooked during Ebola preparedness and response activities.

Families affected by quarantine, contact monitoring, illness, displacement, or restricted movement can face difficulties obtaining food, hygiene materials, and other basic necessities. Addressing these practical challenges can help families follow public-health guidance more safely.

Our community-centered approach therefore connects prevention messaging with attention to household needs. Where possible, we promote hygiene supplies, food support, community awareness, and coordination with local response structures.

These interventions are particularly important in an outbreak occurring amid conflict, insecurity, and displacement. WHO reports that these conditions continue to complicate surveillance, contact tracing, infection prevention, and access to care in parts of the DRC.

Your support helps make Ebola preparedness more responsive to the realities families face every day.

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your support, we continue emphasizing infection prevention and control as an essential part of Ebola preparedness. Healthcare facilities can become critical places for early diagnosis and treatment, but they must also maintain strong safeguards to protect healthcare workers, patients, caregivers, and visitors.

Our awareness and preparedness activities reinforce the importance of appropriate hygiene, protective practices, safe patient handling, environmental sanitation, and prompt reporting of suspected cases.

This remains particularly important because WHO has identified healthcare settings as one of the environments where delayed recognition can contribute to onward transmission.

By supporting community understanding of when and how to seek care, we can also help reduce unsafe delays and encourage people to approach health services appropriately.

Your contribution is helping strengthen safer pathways to care.
