The people who helped fight Ebola in the DRC – a look at the EU-supported Save the Children project
“Before the Ebola outbreak, we used to eat a lot of bush meat, but we didn’t know that Ebola could be in that meat. We now protect ourselves from Ebola by following the messages given to us, washing our hands, not eating bush meat, not touching someone who is showing Ebola symptoms…”
Save the Children, with EU support, worked with community leaders, such as Chief Augustin to raise awareness on how to stop Ebola from spreading and how to seek immediate medical attention. These activities helped to reach out to community members, build community knowledge and trust, and promote acceptance of the Ebola response measures.
