“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).
