Alors que le paludisme, la pneumonie et les maladies diarrhéiques restent des facteurs majeurs de maladie et de mortalité chez les enfants de moins de cinq ans en République démocratique du Congo (RDC), le Rotary International, en partenariat avec la Fondation Gates et World Vision, s'efforce de réduire la morbidité de ces maladies et d'améliorer les services de santé dans le pays. Dans le cadre du « Défi du Rotary pour des collectivités en bonne santé », le programme de 8,5 millions de dollars en RDC répondra aux besoins spécifiques en matière de santé dans les provinces du Kasaï, du Sud-Kivu et du Tanganyika en formant et en déployant plus de 2 000 agents de santé locaux, et en les équipant pour diagnostiquer, traiter et gérer les cas de paludisme, de pneumonie et de diarrhée. Il créera également des centres de soins locaux pour fournir des services essentiels de prévention et de traitement, réduisant ainsi considérablement la mortalité infantile dans ces régions.

Yanauo shares how traditional bamboo water collection evolved into using plastic containers as their village lacked a safe water source, causing children to fall sick.

This report presents the findings from a unique piece of research conducted by World Vision Syria Response in Northwest Syria (NWS) and Southern Türkiye. It is the first of its kind to specifically explore how the February 2023 earthquakes in the region have impacted unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and who were separated from their families during the disasters. The study brings together the diverse perspectives and experiences of caregivers, community members and most importantly, Syrian UASC in some of the worst earthquakes-affected areas. The report underlines the critical role of community-based alternative care systems in caring for unaccompanied and separated children and emphasises the severe gaps in existing services for children without parental care. Finally, it calls for increased prioritisation of Syrian unaccompanied and separated children in both NWS and Southern Türkiye in the overall humanitarian response to the Syrian conflict.
