COVID-19: SDA youth leaders donate masks
World over, religious institutions have been identified as key players the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Â
They have donated equipment, acted as channels of mass public health education, offered psychosocial support and humanitarian assistance.
Â
The County Government of Nakuru has been open for such partnerships to complement its surveillance, prevention and management efforts against COVID-19.
“Only collaborative partnerships would help meet total resource requirements in implementing COVID-19 pandemic strategies,” stated Governor Lee Kinyanjui in an earlier address.
Nakuru Central Seventh-Day Adventist Church has today donated 500 standard reusable cloth masks to be distributed to vulnerable communities.
Â
The masks have been produced by Master Guides, the top leaders of the church’s Pathfinder movement, who also recently donated litter bins to help keep Nakuru CBD clean.
Â
Receiving the consignment, Public Health CO Mr Samuel Kingâori said every donation made has been catalogued and will be accounted for in days to come.
Â
He urged well-wishers to use set government channels while distributing food and non-food donations to avert crowding that would lead to mass transmissions or stampedes.
Â
County Attorney Hon. Caleb Nyamwange thanked the youth for the donations and advised them to start businesses that address gaps occasioned by COVID-19 pandemic.
Â
Nakuru Central SDA Church Master Guide leader Mr Paul Odhiambo said the group is ready to partner with the County Government of Nakuru in many other ways in combating COVID-19 pandemic,
