WE DID THIS! ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½
Today 25th of August 2020, Africa will be declared Polio Free because Nigeria has sustained its polio free status. For many years, Christ Ambassadors; our Trustees, our team of volunteers and YOU our supporters partnered with WHO, UNICEF & Nigeriaβs National Primary Health Care Development Agency in Abuja. We ran our Run for Polio Initiative for many years travelling back and forth to Nigeria and working with local charities; giving much needed aid to increase the uptake of polio vaccine and working with the children and their families affected by polio.
Many thanks to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency in Abuja, Rotary, MANSAG and many more UK organisations for partnering with us so that we could do much good on groundπͺ
W are immensely proud to be able to make this announcement today & we continue to pray that Nigeria remains free of this entirely preventable disease.
At Christ Ambassadors we continue to need your support; keep tuned for upcoming initiatives as we take on our next challenge!
Rumours and misinformation about the vaccine slowed down immunisation efforts.
