• Thursday 9th July: Afghanistan

Last month, our team in Afghanistan began an adapted programme of risk education combined with COVID-19 messaging to help prevent the spread of the virus. Traditional group risk education lessons have been replaced by door-to-door sessions with appropriate social distancing and PPE. Alongside teaching families how to stay safe from mines and explosives, our team has received training from WHO and the Risk Communication and Engagement Group in Kabul to deliver COVID-19 health education. They are also distributing COVID-19 leaflets and posters and have fitted loudspeakers to our vehicles to reach as many people as possible with this vital messaging.

The Afghan team aims to reach nearly 20,000 people each month and will cover all 34 provinces across the country.

With the backing of PM/WRA, drivers Thabani Sikwili and Onisimo Gatsi were able to step-in and make the deliveries.
