Dear Donor,
Thanks to your generous support, we are promoting compassion and reducing stigma associated with Ebola.
During an outbreak, fear can sometimes cause individuals and families to be isolated socially even when they pose no health risk. Such stigma can discourage people from reporting illness, seeking care, or cooperating with health teams.
Our community awareness efforts encourage people to replace fear and blame with accurate information and compassion.
Survivors and affected families deserve dignity and acceptance as they rebuild their lives.
Community trust is an essential part of outbreak control. When people feel respected, they are more likely to communicate openly with health workers and participate in response activities.
Your support is helping create communities where fighting Ebola does not mean abandoning the people affected by it.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
