WE ARE TAKING OUR FIGHT TO THE STREETS AND COMMUNITIES OF AFRICA

We like to apologise for our long silence on this blog, the hiatus was necessary as we needed to strategise on how to take our activities of informing and educating Africans about Hepatitis prevalence in our communities. We have over the few months o f our absence on the blog sought information on how endemic the disease is in sub-Saharan Africa and how most governments and non state actors spend so much resources on malaria, HIV/AIDS and other diseases that are not as prevalent as hepatitis. We find this really surprising and somewhat appalling that such a dangerous and highly infectious disease could be left to further ravage our people, our culture and our future.

So we have decided to take our campaign to the community, our plans are to use multimedia equipments, such as large outdoor screens which will be deployed in communities and programs such as local drama and documentaries stressing the effects and other informational needs when managing the spread and infection.

We recognize the challenges that await us, but we are determined to surpass these challenges and help curb the high infectious rate of hepatitis particularly hepatitis b in Africa. Our initial program plan is to run an awareness program for eighteen months starting in West Africa before spreading to other parts of Africa.

We will continue to use this medium to inform and appeal to our partners and supporters on issues regarding to cutting the infectious rate especially in new babies and women.
