Urgent Ebola Support: Save DRC-Uganda Border Lives

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your generosity, we continue using education as a long-term tool for Ebola preparedness.

When people understand how disease surveillance works, why contact monitoring is necessary, and where to seek reliable information, they are better prepared to respond during an emergency.

Our community education efforts focus on practical knowledge rather than fear. We encourage people to understand prevention measures and share reliable information with family members.

Education also helps reduce stigma because communities can replace rumors and assumptions with facts.

WHO's response framework continues to place community engagement alongside surveillance, contact tracing, clinical preparedness, supplies, and cross-border preparedness.

Your support is investing in knowledge that can continue protecting communities long after the current outbreak ends.

Dear Donor,

Thanks to your continued support, we are encouraging communities to consider health protection when organizing gatherings and public activities.

Community events, markets, religious gatherings, meetings, and other social activities bring people together and provide valuable opportunities for health education.

Our prevention messaging encourages good hygiene, responsible information sharing, awareness of symptoms, and appropriate action when someone becomes ill.

We do not want communities to live in fear or stop normal social life. Instead, we encourage practical precautions that allow people to remain connected while reducing unnecessary health risks.

The continuing geographic spread of Bundibugyo virus disease across the DRC makes sustained community awareness especially important.

Your support is helping communities balance everyday life with responsible preparedness.
