Ebola is spreading rapidly in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with thousands of cases and more than 2,600 deaths reported (https://apnews.com/article/congo-ebola-deaths-vaccine-bundibugyo-06f39ce4dc7dfd2dbcaf509b6e6ecbe5). The situation is deeply concerning in eastern DRC, where I used to travel and where conflict, displacement, and limited access to healthcare make containing the virus even more difficult.

With your help since May, Harper Hill Global has worked with local leaders and communicators in eastern DRC to share lifesaving & multilingual prevention messages through animation, music, and mass media grants for distribution (https://www.harperhill.global/post/ebola-awareness-campaign-reaches-mass-audience-through-radio). We are beginning to deploy "portable classrooms" (https://www.harperhill.global/post/taking-the-classroom-to-the-people) to bring health education directly to people.

None of this would be possible without your prayers, volunteering, and financial support. The HHG network now extends throughout the USA, several African countries, Guatemala, and various other countries.

What we say really matters, and when we share hope and health education, we impact lives now and well into the future. If you’d like to donate to this cause or others we support, please visit https://www.harperhill.global/donate.

When we know that someone has been traumatised then we can make some extra preparation to enable them to feel safe.

As children prepare to go back to school over the next couple weeks maybe that is finding out their favourite toy, a nice smell, a soft blanket - what sort of things do you do to help the children in your world feel safe?

"We Have a Voice, We Have Phones.” Young Leaders Mobilize Against Ebola in Kivu

Young leaders in Kivu are using WhatsApp and their own community networks to raise awareness about Ebola and mobilize people to protect their families despite limited resources and international support.

In a commentary by Pascal Kahule Muderhwa, Goma, DR Congo, he says:

After witnessing for ourselves that Ebola virus disease is a real threat and not simply a rumor, and after listening to health officials in the Greater North Kivu region, we became aware of the danger that is once again threatening our population.

Rev. Neelley Hicks, Executive Director of Harper Hill Global, who carries the people of the Greater Kivu region deeply in her heart, also helped us understand the urgency of this situation.

We do not have the necessary materials, and we do not have easy access to traditional media such as radio and television. But we have our phones and social media, especially WhatsApp.

We decided to use WhatsApp groups to raise awareness among the population. We began by sharing three Ebola animations provided by Rev. Neelley to remind people of one essential fact: Ebola is real. It is not a joke and it is not a rumor.

In less than a week, we shared these messages in approximately 50 WhatsApp groups. Here in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is common for a WhatsApp group to have several hundred members. We therefore estimate that we have already been able to reach more than 30,000 people, directly or indirectly.

Every gift makes a difference. Whether you give $25, $100, $500, or more, your generosity helps deliver life-saving Ebola prevention messages to families in some of the most remote communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
