\u201cWhen I heard how the coronavirus spreads and how we need to wash our hands all the time, I tried to find out a way that we can build an innovative device where one can wash their hands without touching the soap dispenser or water tap,\u201d says Mohamud Mohamed, the initiator of the handwash facility and a welding graduate from the institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs washing hands is recommended during this time, so is the need to have a sustainable innovation that is adopted to improve the functioning of an existing product,\u201d says Kaibe Makasoma, ADRA\u2019s project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The students from the institute were able to make 50 innovative handwash facilities through the NORAD-funded Strengthening Equity, Access and Quality in Education (SEAQE) Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Somalia, the handwash facilities were distributed in MCHs, schools, government institutions and ministries, learning centers, hotels and restaurants and the seaport in Kismayo District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThese activities complement previous COVID-19 prevention works that the Ministry of Health and ADRA have done that include radio awareness messages, erecting infographic billboards, community health awareness and distribution of information, education and communication (IEC) materials,\u201d says Kaibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three-month COVID-19 response, that started in May is supported by the SEAQE Project and funded by NORAD. The response is expected to reach over 17,000 beneficiaries in Jubbaland and Banadir Regional Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADRA in Somalia implements emergency relief and development interventions in livelihoods and economic development, education, renewable energy, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and emergency management. ADRA\u2019s work is anchored on a programming approach that recognizes the essence of the communities taking leadership in their own development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ADRA through NORAD and ADRA in Norway have been supporting Kismayo Technical Institute since 2015. Cumulatively, 1,758 (1,142 male and 616 female) youth and vulnerable women have been trained in vocational skills (TVET). The institute currently has 300 students and offers six technical and vocation courses which include electricity, welding, carpentry, auto mechanics and computer studies, and garment making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information about ADRA\u2019s response in Somalia, visit Facebook.com\/ADRASom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For journalist queries, please email press@adra.org<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SOBRE A ADRA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A pandemia do novo coronav\u00edrus (COVID-19) obrigou os respons\u00e1veis pela sa\u00fade p\u00fablica a encontrar solu\u00e7\u00f5es pr\u00e1ticas e inovadoras para p\u00f4r termo \u00e0 crise sanit\u00e1ria mundial.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19021,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[785,284,973,336],"tags":[774,1079,8,690],"class_list":["post-19020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa","category-health","category-somalia","category-wash","tag-covid-19","tag-crisis","tag-emergency-response","tag-protection"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19020"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46320,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19020\/revisions\/46320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/adra.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/KTI-3-1024x768.jpg\")
