MAR held a water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programme in Beledweyne, Hiiraan. Access to WASH is a key public health issue. It is part of MAR’s long term prevention and control measures in decreasing the outbreak of Malaria.

This programme was attended by different parts of the community including school and town officials. Also attending were internally displaced people and officials of the nearby camps in Beledweyne.

This educational seminar was successful in imparting different methods of controlling malaria whilst spreading awareness of the disease and how the community could protect itself.

We aim to continue spreading awareness of this deadly disease with your help!
