Harper Hill Global’s support is making a lifesaving difference in the ongoing STOP Ebola campaign in the North Katanga area of Congo.
The Rev. Dr. Betty Kazadi Musau reports that, thanks to Harper Hill Global, they have been able to send out messages on radio and television to combat Ebola. A manual for pastors and laity, created by Harper Hill Global, has been used to teach nurses and medical doctors. And flyers with important messages from the newly released guide have been used to take the campaign to pastors, laity, and medical personnel.
Apart from the Ebola campaign, friends from within the Democratic Republic of Congo, including the North Katanga region of The United Methodist Church and Harper Hill Global, have been serving the Haut Lomami community courageously, addressing both hypertension and the STOP Ebola campaign with animations, flyers, and SMS texting.
Kilunji and Dr. Numbi Nkulu, facilitators, shared the information gathered on the STOP Ebola campaign with nurses and medical colleagues working at the Shungu Clinic. Shungu is a clinic of The United Methodist Church that serves the surrounding neighborhoods and even the population from Kasai, the neighboring province. Kilunji explained the importance of educating nurses about Ebola virus prevention. Thirty-four were trained, including matrons, nurses, and medical doctors who practice at Shungu Clinic.
