Reaching out to communities affected by the cholera outbreak
Posted on Oct 27, 2010
Community outreach continues to be a priority for the PIH team, as access to both medical facilities and clean water continues to be a major challenge to treating and controlling the cholera outbreak. Community health workers, social workers, and community volunteers have been mobilized in affected areas. By driving trucks with loudspeakers playing community education campaigns about cholera, and tireless outreach to individual homes, schools, churches, and community gathering places, the team continues to spread the word of how to prevent cholera, and bring access to clean water to isolated communities.
