West Africa is one of the highest ranked countries when it comes to infectious diseases especially the ones caused due to lack of hygiene. It is heartbreaking to see people suffer from the pain and even risk losing their lives due to these diseases that are completely preventable provided they have access to and awareness of proper hygiene and sanitation practices. As both a medical laboratory scientist at Philadelphia Penn Medicine with a Master’s in Public Health and as a U.S. Army veteran I have committed myself to help people live a better and healthier life. As a part of the Public Health Foundation for Hand Hygiene (PHFHH), a nonprofit and 501c3 organization dedicated to promoting hand washing and proper hygiene practices I am consistently working towards the goal to reduce the spread of deadly infectious diseases in West African countries. But considering the impact I’m looking to have; I need your support to reach as many people and communities as possible. For this reason, I’m here to ask for your donations to help supply West African countries with masks, garbage trucks, trash cans, sanitizers, and impregnated mosquito nets to populations to reduce malaria infections. To ensure long term prevention of deadly infectious diseases your donations will further be used for education and awareness of sustainable sanitation and hygiene practices and construction of an estimated 7,000 water towers in villages across the region thereby helping ensure access to clean drinking water. Improving food security for the most marginalized communities will also be one of the primary goals of this campaign thereby allowing for proper nutrition and thus better overall health of people. While the goal of this project might seem ambitious, it is important to get started in order to bring about an impactful long-term change in how people in these underprivileged, marginalized communities in West African countries can live a better quality, healthy life. Bringing about this change through awareness and education doesn’t just impact the local communities but also helps the nation progress thereby triggering growth and better public health on a global scale. Understandably, your donations are critical to the success of this campaign. I urge you to come together and join hands in bringing about this global change by helping people and communities in need and deeply appreciate any and all donations you make to strengthen this cause.
