Support Community-Led Ebola Containment in Uganda

Building Resilience Beyond the Current Outbreak

Although current efforts are focused on managing Ebola cases, the work being supported today will continue delivering benefits long after the outbreak ends.

Investments in community awareness, hygiene infrastructure, volunteer training, and surveillance systems are strengthening overall public health capacity. These improvements help communities respond not only to Ebola but also to future health emergencies.

Because of your support, local leaders and health volunteers have gained valuable experience in disease prevention and outbreak response. Communities are more informed, more prepared, and better connected to healthcare resources.

These long-term gains represent an important legacy of the response effort. By strengthening systems now, we can reduce vulnerability and improve preparedness for years to come.

Your generosity is helping create sustainable change that extends far beyond the current crisis.

Thank you for investing in healthier and more resilient communities.

Handwashing Facilities Continue to Protect High-Risk Areas

One of the most visible outcomes of your support remains the continued operation of handwashing facilities in high-risk locations.

Across schools, markets, community centers, and boda boda stages, these facilities provide thousands of opportunities each week for individuals to practice good hygiene and reduce transmission risks.

As new Ebola cases are monitored in Uganda and DRC, these stations serve as a constant reminder of the importance of prevention. Community members continue to use them regularly, demonstrating that hygiene behaviors have become increasingly routine.

Volunteers and local leaders are helping ensure that stations remain functional and stocked with essential supplies. Their efforts have helped sustain these important interventions over time.

While no single measure can stop Ebola alone, widespread access to handwashing facilities remains a powerful part of a comprehensive containment strategy.

Thank you for helping communities maintain one of the simplest and most effective defenses against disease transmission.
