Since the start of COVID-19, VillageReach and the COVID-19 Action Fund for Africa (CAF-Africa) have helped supply over 4.5 million pieces of personal protective equipment to CHWs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
With CHWs now protected, the Ministry of Health is running a polio vaccination campaign for more than 3 million children to prevent a resurgence of the disease.
“It is through collective action that we can stop the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases and create a world where each person has the health care needed to thrive,” said Freddy Nkosi, VillageReach, Country Director, DRC.
The need for PPE never runs out. Support our work in protecting CHWs today.
