Dear supporters, friends and family of Serendipity,
The last time you heard from us, we had started series of trainings for the women of Gadan, Tudun Fulani on good hygiene practices, water storage and filtration where it was done at the primary healthcare centre at the first instance and now we have taken it a step further right to their homes to have a better evaluation of the impact of the trainings thus far.
Habiba Abubakar, a nursing mother taught at the primary healthcare centre had set up training sessions for women and children twice weekly on good hygiene practices, "She quotes; what I learnt has made me more determined to teach my people on the proper way to wash hands, how and when to wash hands, keep our surroundings clean, good water storage and to always keep up with my own hygiene practice so i do not forget", and thus far trained additional ten more women master trainers from neighbouring villages like Yar Kuje, Layin Yar Mallam and Garun Gabas who will cascade knowledge learnt to their community members; Your generous donations has put a smile on the people of Gadan and the neighbouring communities because lessons learnt at the first trainings have been put to good use.
The next line of action will be trainings and awareness programmes on preventive measures of contracting water related diseases and Ebola virus due to susceptability of the region in order to create a wider impact; provision of water kegs to the women to store water inclusive of integration into the distribution/citation of water sources and policies within the local council.
