This week we pay tribute to the young men and women who answer the call to action against Covid. Meet John Kigo of Dandora Transformation League and his team of hand washing station monitors. What are you doing for your community in its moment of need? #31daysofyouth #tibanisisi #washyourhands

One of our first art murals done in Dandora by Omar Mohamed . He says he wants his artwork to depict 'something simple but with a clear message that if you wash your hands you're keeping the environment and yourself safe and healthy'.

Thank you Moses for this great piece!

As part of our ongoing programs in East Africa to help build resilience among communities most affected by COVID-19, we partnered with Safe Hands Kenya and @UwezaKenya to distribute soap in Kibra. We will continue to work with great community organisations to help fight #COVID19KE

Thanks to Uweza and @TibaNiSisi for enabling my organization Centre For Community Development And Human Rights distribute face masks and install Hand Washing Stations in my neighborhood in Kibra. #TibaNiSisi

During these trying times, it is important for us to be aware that someone with coronavirus is just sick and not a criminal. They will get cured but the memory of how people treated them will stay forever.
Let us not stigmatize those with the disease but spread love

😷Wearing a mask is only effective to stop the spread of #COVID19 if it is worn properly.

❌Avoid these common errors👇🏿

Great piece by The Standard Digital highlighting the impact of #COVID19KE on young ppl’s mental health & outlining why The Lancet recommends that young ppl are given the chance to help co-design new interventions to support the wellbeing of their communities >> standardmedia.co.ke/article/200137…

As the cases rise, let us not stigmatize those who have been found with the virus. Remember COVID-19 has no mercy. It could be your mum or brother who catches it, so spread love and kindness to anyone who has been infected, you never know when you might need it too.

Meet the ward reps from our partner Dandora Transformation League as they get ready to distribute Handwashing stations.

This team has been extremely useful in our work in Dandora and we could not have done this project without them👏

Dr Jean-marie Dangou (DANGOU Jean-Marie) explains the relationship between #COVID19 & non-communicable diseases #NCDs , such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes & cancers.

COVID-19 not only exacerbates NDCs in patients, but also puts them at greater risk of severe cases of the virus.

This is an awe-inspiring piece by Wesley osoro who says that 'During the COVID-19 time as an artist I stand in as the cure (Tiba ni Mimi) to make sure the community of Kibera is aware of the virus and how to prevent the spread'.

Thank you Wesley for being an inspiration to many!

As you go about your weekend, don't forget to wear your mask. This simple act can save your life!

Our mural for the day comes from @Francis Okoth who says that ' nilikuwa na focus na watu wa tuk tuk kwasababu wanafaa kuvaa mask na kupea customers sanitizer ndio to keep safe'.

Thank you Frank!

This engaging piece by Don from Kibera depicts how ' Young African children struggle to protect themselves from coronavirus with the limited resources available'.
