Survivors to provide support for at-risk children
Print Edition
THE United Nations is training Ebola survivors to help respond to the soaring number of cases in West Africa, because people who’ve lived through the experience are now immune to the disease.
Survivors are being trained to work with children in Liberia and Sierra Leone who’ve had contact with infected people and require 21 days of isolation, UNICEF’s Crisis Communications Chief Sarah Crowe said on Friday.
“Ebola has hijacked every aspect of life,” Crowe said, and it has left an estimated 3,700 orphans across the region.
Survivors of Ebola can offer the love and attention a small child needs, without the fear that has made life “a very unhuman experience,” she said.
So far, 20 Ebola survivors have been trained to work in the centers, with another 30 identified, Crowe said.
