Impact in Action

The Rogbom community in Sierra Leone transformed its approach to personal hygiene and sanitation through a recent training initiative focused on individual and community well-being. Key topics, including the link between regular bathing and skin diseases, were seamlessly integrated, with a strong emphasis on achieving a remarkable 98% reduction in infection risks through proper handwashing practices. The discussion extended to water hygiene, advocating for pristine containers in water collection to prevent diseases. Encouraging participants to promote hygiene at home, especially in storing borehole water, added a community-driven dynamic.

Impact in Action

A woman from Freetown attended WHI’s cervical screening services for the second time in April 2023, following her initial visit in July 2022 when she tested VIA positive and received prompt treatment on the same day. She discovered our services through Facebook messages shared by our Community Mobilizer on his “official Stunt Man” page. Despite challenges locating the screening team in a village 15 kilometers away from Makeni during her first attempt, she persisted, took a motorbike to reach the village, and was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Swift treatment ensued, leading to her return to Freetown. Six months later, upon rescreening, the lesions had disappeared. Her fervent message encourages women to act promptly, emphasizing the risks of delaying screening opportunities.

Impact in Action

In Sierra Leone’s Kono region, Nina’s parents insisted on sending her to live with her fish trader grandmother for better educational opportunities. However, financial constraints led her to fish hawking, and her grandmother suggested marriage instead of education. Enduring a challenging life of fish-selling and abuse, Nina’s fortunes seemed to change when a customer promised to help her. However, instead of aiding, he raped her. Fearing repercussions, she endured ongoing abuse and discovered her pregnancy. Expelled by her grandmother, she lived on the streets until a community group intervened, reporting the case to the police and involving WHI. Now at the Recovery Centre, Nina prepares for childbirth, with social workers working on reestablishing communication with her family and providing counseling.
