The last couple of months globally have been turned upside down as we learn how to live with COVID-19 in our communities.
Here in Eswatini (Swaziland) we have been through a couple months of borders closed (borders are closed between USA/South Africa, South Africa/eSwatini and Eswatini/Mozambique), and partial locking down the country trying to keep the spread low to assist our already strained healthcare system. Our partial-lock down has been extended through June in an effort to minimize the spread. Currently we are just over 230 national COVID-19 cases with only 2 deaths.
Having placed all new COVID-19 precautions into practice at the clinic, we continue medical outreach to our communities that are vulnerable and isolated! Our hope is that by helping the communities to stay home and out of the health facilities, public transport, and town for their HIV treatment, blood pressure medications, or basis health ailments, we help limit their risk of exposure to COVID-19 that has spiked within the towns.
Your monthly donations help us to continue to provide healthcare to the people within their communities. Our communities we serve in the north eastern region of eSwatini has yet to have a COVID-19 out break and we hope to do all we can to promote health wherever we go!
