The “Soap bubbles against coronavirus” initiative arrived at Heaven’s Home for Children, located in Joe town, near Waterloo (rural area of Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone), where the team of local volunteers provided the children in this orphanage with all the necessary and the instructions to wash your hands correctly, in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, including covid-19. This orphanage was founded by Mrs. Keptiyu Kanu. Since she was young, Keptiyu went to study in UK, far from her family remained in Sierra Leone, in a foreing land and with few or no friends. Feeling so lonely, Keptiyu promised herself as soon as she returned to Sierra Leone she would build a house for the lonely children. So she started to work and save money, and with the help of her family she created Heaven’s Home for Children.

“Soap bubbles against coronavirus” ready to start
The initiative “Soap bubbles against coronavirus” is at the starting blocks. In the coming days, the team of local volunteers in Sierra Leone will visit 8 orphanages in the rural area near the capital Freetown. The children in these orphanages, as well as their caregivers, will be provided with supplies and instructions for properly washing their hands, in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in these vulnerable communities, including covid-19.
Working on an idea for a brand new project
The ATTENTION project is aimed to improve the access to effective health services for the children in the orphanages and Interim Care Centers (ICCs) of Sierra Leone.
Indeed there is a huge lack of healthcare references for the children hosted in these facilities.
It is planned to finance this project by a call proposal to the Small Charities Challenge Fund (UKAid – DFID), by establishing an ad-hoc applying consortium.
