Cholera and Hygiene Kits | Yemen. August 2017.

In Yemen Cholera became an outbreak on April 27. Since then, more than 400.000 suspected cases of Cholera were recorded with nearly 2.000 associated deaths. Vision Hope International has been on the field since 2002. Our work has focused also on rehabilitating clean water resources through the IWRM - Integrated Water Resources Management. Part of the IWRM are also the projects for distribution of life saving silver based water filters and Hygiene Kits. Now, with the threat of Cholera turning into an epidemic, the efforts for saving lives needed more input and we are now distributing enhanced Hygiene Kits better suited for Cholera prevention. The more recent kits include: Aquatab, sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC), 33 mg tablets - Pack with 50 tablets; Bar of bathing soap, branded, non-perfumed, non-allergic, 75g; Jerrycan, noncollapsible, made of food safe plastic (10-20 liters), white; Washing powder, concentrated, 2 kg; and a better Water Filter (silver based filter) First Unicef (2.500) and now Tearfund (1.800) have donated for the Cholera Hygiene Kits. While the ones from IWRM were supported by the BMZ from Germany. We must note too, that also this ones are an extraordinary way to prevent Cholera not only for the hygiene purpose and education which followed, but also because they were in many cases distributed along with silver water filters. In this version, the Hygiene Kits included tooth paste and tooth brush for oral hygiene. The best way to support our work is by donating.
