Your love has no bounds or boundaries when it comes to helping our neighbors in need. That’s why health care workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo are being taught sign language — ensuring that clinics are welcoming and accessible to all.
Dr. Furaha Bisimwa is one such doctor using sign language in her practice. She learned as part of a program teaching care and prevention for survivors of sexual attacks. This program, provided by supporters like you, also provides clinics with PEP Kits, which prevent HIV and other diseases and are given in the immediate aftermath of an assault.
The caveat is that survivors must take the medicine within 72 hours of an attack to prevent disease.
The stigma following an assault is extreme and can be even more so for those with disabilities. For many, being able to speak to a medical professional in their own language can be extremely comforting.
Dr. Furaha shared a video — especially for you — to show her gratitude for all that you do.
