Access to clean and safe water is the first step to an improved life. Adding hygiene education training takes this to the next level by equipping community members like Yar Chol Marial with safe practices to improve their overall health, ultimately establishing habits that can be carried on by the next generation. Yar Chol Marial, a female community member who resides in Boul village, says the quality of life has improved drastically because everyone in the area has access to safe drinking water and hygiene education. “Personal hygiene practices amongst families in my community have improved, which is due to the education of personal and water hygiene. We can now sustain, protect, and maintain the water source for many years,” Yar shared. Yar continued, “There has been a reduction in many diseases like guinea worm, diarrhea, bilharzia, and typhoid simply due to the presence of clean water in the area. I know that access to clean drinking water and hygiene information improves lives because I see it in my own community.” Help someone like Yar gain the skills to improve their health. A donation of $50 provides the necessary supplies for village hygiene training. All donations will be matched up to $1,500. Together, we are uniting to water the seeds of change in South Sudan. Thank you for supporting this invaluable work. 💙🧼💦 https://lnkd.in/eFRPNg6v #20YearsofWFSS #MakeADifference #WaterChangesEverything #SouthSudan #NGO #WateringTheSeedsOfChange #WASHProjects #HygieneEducation #Nonprofit

Food insecurity and hunger have myriad implications for the realisation of girls’ rights. Not only do adolescent girls have specific nutritional requirements, which makes them particularly vulnerable to malnutrition, but as families increasingly resort to negative coping mechanisms, pre-existing rights violations become more acute and widespread. We must act now.  Donate to the Hunger Crisis Appeal here: https://lnkd.in/e_NXxRWH #PlanInAction #Educational #CrisisInHaiti #ProtectionOfGirls #FoodCrisis #HungerCrisis #Haiti

The original Children’s Ward at Bansang Hospital in the 90’s had a very high mortality rate. The highest mortality rate was under four-year-olds and in one month alone 337 children died from Malaria in poor conditions. Staff back then were faced with the impossible task of treating and providing medication as they navigated by candlelight or kerosene lamps due to constant electrical failures that could last for weeks. Up to four children shared contaminated mattresses and rats and cockroaches vastly outnumbered the patients. Fundraising enabled a new 80 bed Children’s Unit to open in June 2007. To include Premature and Neonatal Unit, Intensive Care, Dressings, Malnutrition, Burns and Play Therapy treatment rooms. In 2022 the unit was upgraded to include plaster board ceilings hardwearing porcelain tiles on the floor, ceiling fans, and LED lighting throughout the Unit. In 2022 1,889 children were admitted for treatment. #AffinityVision #Gambia #Community #Bansang #hospital #childunit #fundraising #supportingcommunities #supportingAfrica #supportingchildren #SupportingAfrica #Africa #impactresults

"Ensuring Dignity in Crisis: Addressing Menstrual Health Amidst Conflict in Gaza" The ongoing conflict in Gaza has brought about severe humanitarian challenges, and amidst the chaos, the often-overlooked issue of menstrual health is exacerbating the plight of women in the region. It is crucial to recognize that periods don't stop when war starts, and the sanitary conditions in Gaza are currently dire. Prior to the conflict, an estimated 540,000 women in Gaza were of reproductive/menstruating age. The disruptions caused by the war have not only increased the vulnerability of women but have also subjected them to humiliating and unsanitary conditions. Access to basic menstrual hygiene products, clean water, and proper sanitation facilities is severely limited, compounding the challenges faced by women in the region. It is imperative to raise awareness about the specific needs of women and girls during conflicts, including the provision of essential menstrual health supplies. Lack of access to sanitary products can lead to various health risks and contribute to the deterioration of women's overall well-being. Additionally, the absence of private and clean spaces for managing menstruation can lead to further distress and indignity. International humanitarian efforts must prioritize the inclusion of menstrual health support in aid packages to address the urgent needs of women in Gaza. NGOs, governments, and international organizations should collaborate to ensure the timely delivery of sanitary supplies and the establishment of safe and hygienic spaces for women and girls. Moreover, breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation is crucial in these challenging times. Cultural norms and taboos often compound the challenges faced by women, and efforts to educate communities about the importance of menstrual health and hygiene must be intensified. In the face of conflict, it is essential to uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals, regardless of gender. By addressing the specific needs of women in Gaza, we can contribute to a more comprehensive and compassionate response to the humanitarian crisis. Let us stand together to ensure that periods do not become a silent crisis within the larger conflict, and that the well-being of women in Gaza is prioritized in our collective efforts to provide relief and support. #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianAid
