This week we will be taking a look at Ebola and the way it has impacted the lives and livelihoods of women in Sierra, Leone and Guinea – the three worst affected areas in our sub region.

As the region sees the world’s worst ever Ebola outbreak slow down and near an end, the focus is on rebuilding lives and communities and addressing the issues of healthcare systems in shambles, low levels of literacy and the economic downturn.

Here at AWDF of course we pay special attention to how women’s lives have been impacted and what can be done to ensure preparedness for any future catastrophic events or emergencies. We will share insights, reports and highlight work being undertaken by our grantees.

We invite you to follow our campaign and join right in the conversation here on the website, FB and via twitter.

We welcome all comments and contributions.
