Emergency Ebola Response in Uganda

Public spaces play an important role in community health, particularly during disease outbreaks. Thanks to your generous support, we have continued promoting hygiene practices in markets, schools, transportation hubs, and other high-traffic locations.

Throughout this reporting period, hygiene promotion teams conducted demonstrations and awareness activities that encouraged regular handwashing and proper sanitation. Handwashing facilities installed in strategic locations continue to provide community members with access to essential hygiene services.

Market vendors, transport operators, and local business owners have embraced prevention measures and are actively encouraging customers and visitors to practice good hygiene. Their involvement is helping extend the reach and impact of our prevention efforts.

Community members report increased awareness of the importance of hand hygiene and greater confidence in their ability to protect themselves and others. These positive behavior changes contribute to reducing the risk of Ebola transmission while promoting overall public health.

The success of these initiatives demonstrates the value of making prevention resources accessible in places where people gather daily. Public spaces can become powerful platforms for health promotion and community engagement.

Thank you for supporting efforts that improve hygiene and safety in public spaces. Your generosity continues to strengthen prevention measures and create healthier environments for thousands of individuals and families across Uganda.
