Be a part of community building today,
and prevent child cholera deaths tomorrow!
1 in 4 children who die before their fifth birthday in Eastern Congo die of something entirely preventable – cholera and acute diarrhea. “In Mumosho district, water-borne illnesses kill more kids than malaria, HIV/AIDS, and pneumonia,” says Esperance, a nurse pioneering Resolve Network’s Community Health Worker program. “We have to move from attention to action,” she says. “My first day as a nurse for my community, I’ll deliver bricks instead of medicine – we can keep a thousand children safe from cholera in the next year by building a sanitary latrine near the market square.”
“There is an urgency to this action. Because of climate change, we are seeing signs of the rainy season starting sooner than ever before. If we do not act now, people will die – starting with children and the elderly. If we work together, we can prevent these deaths and build a healthier community.”
Help us reach the $4,500 needed to make the latrines operational, and the $9,000 to make it a source of renewable energy! Donate today, and click here to see updates as we build! You can also cheer on the progress on Twitter – give a shout out to @KickCholera!
