Borders are closing. Airlines are cancelling flights. The economy is slowly shutting down as fear spreads. The Ebola death toll steadily rises in West Africa.
Sierra Leone is home to six million people, about the size of the Dallas/Fort Worth region. What would you do if hundreds of people suddenly started dying from an illness passed through sweat, blood or tears?
We are mobilizing our staff and partners to serve the most vulnerable families in our partner communities through prevention and awareness, humanitarian relief and support to local medical facilities. We will begin conducting in-home visits to educate families on proper Ebola prevention measures and provide them with some basic sanitation supplies and spiritual encouragement. As jobs shut down and food becomes more scarce, we are working to provide Hope Packages to families that include food rations, sanitation supplies, a thermometer, water purifiers and Christian literature to help them through the current crisis. We are also working to provide basic medical supplies and protective gear to local clinics and hospitals to counteract the shortages experienced nationwide due to the strain on an already fragile, ill-equipped healthcare system.
We need your help to keep our communities safe. Get involved today!
