Ute-Henriette Ohoven for #Art4GlobalGoals

Snapshot

Together with the #GIZ Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, the YOU Foundation (Ute-Henriette Ohoven) launched a new project in Senegal

With this project, which is aligned with the measures of the Senegalese government's strategic PRCC (Plan de Riposte contre le Coronavirus), YOU Foundation intends to fill critical gaps in COVID-19 pandemic awareness, strengthen prevention activities, preparedness and response to COVID-19 consequences. The YOU Foundation carries out educational measures, video messages, prevention work or direct support of affected people by making available also mobile health teams. Different individual measures are taken in rural areas e.g. distribution of seeds and plants, to support self-sufficiency. Fast and unbureaucratic actions in the interest of those affected are required urgently.
