“Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative arrived at Hope Children’s Home, Sierra Leone

The “Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative arrived at Hope Children’s Home, located in Brigitte Village, after Tombo town (Freetown rural area, Sierra Leone), where the local volunteer team provided the children in this orphanage with both supplies and instructions to wash hands properly, in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including covid-19.
This orphanage was founded by Sarah Millar. Sarah was born, lived and graduated in psychology in the United States. However, during a travel in Sierra Leone, Sarah saw the living conditions of children, sometimes abandoned in the streets. So, despite all her life was in the United States, Sarah decided to return in Sierra Leone to help vulnerable children and ensure that they are protected and safe. Sarah was supported by her family, her church and a few Sierra Leone people joined Sarah to create the Hope Children’s Home.

L’iniziativa “Bolle di sapone contro il coronavirus” è arrivata a Hope Children’s Home, situata a Brigitte Village, dopo la città di Tombo (zona rurale di Freetown, Sierra Leone), dove il team di volontari locali ha fornito ai bambini in questo orfanotrofio sia l’occorrente che le istruzioni per lavarsi le mani correttamente, al fine di prevenire la diffusione di malattie infettive, tra cui covid-19.
Questo orfanotrofio è stato fondato da Sarah Millar. Sarah è nata e vissuta negli Stati Uniti, dove si è laureata in psicologia. Tuttavia, durante un viaggio in Sierra Leone, Sarah ha visto le condizioni di vita dei bambini, a volte abbandonati per le strade. Quindi, malgrado tutta la sua vita fosse negli Stati Uniti, Sarah ha deciso di tornare in Sierra Leone per aiutare i bambini vulnerabili e garantirgli protezione e sicurezza, e, con l’aiuto dalla sua famiglia e della sua chiesa, ed insieme ad alcune persone della Sierra Leone unitesi a lei, è stato creato l’Hope Children’s Home.

“Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative arrived at the Orphanage of St. George, Sierra Leone

The “Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative arrived at the Orphanage of St. George, located in Grafton, in the rural area of Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone. The local volunteer team provided the children in this orphanage with both supplies and instructions to wash their hands properly, to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including covid-19. This orphanage was founded by Justina Zainab Conteh, a philanthropist educated by an Italian priest for many years missionary in Sierra Leone, Father Nazzareno. Justina, after completing her education, began to take care of abandoned children, starting from zero and without any resources, but thanks to the help of the people she was able to provide a safe home and guarantee the protection and safety of children

Soap bubbles against coronavirus

Orphanages in low and middle income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to epidemics. In order to protect the hosted children from Covid-19, the local team of volunteers from R-Evolution Worldwide will visit some orphanages in the rural area of Freetown (capital of Sierra Leone, West Africa), to provide furnishings, materials, instructions and practical examples to improve hygienic prophylaxis against infectious diseases such as Covid-19. The initiative aims to involve children in the form of a game and for this reason it is called “Soap bubbles against coronavirus”. The intervention will start in the next few days and will be conducted under the supervision of the Government of Sierra Leone (Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender & Children’s Affairs).
