BACKGROUND:
Clean portable water is vital to the survival of virtually all living species but most at times it is available in forms
which are not healthy for consumption. According to research studies, 844 million people lack access to clean water.
Without clean, easily accessible water, families and communities are locked in poverty for generations.

It is therefore important to educate the population on how to make water good for drinking

Value Health Africa with its mission to improve health and wellbeing in communities and with one of its main pillars
of work being to improve Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, we have been carrying out several activities such as
sensitization on hygiene with respect to this pillar. In commemoration of the World Water Day which is the 22nd of
March 2021, Value Health Africa had as planned activities visit to an orphanage in order to sensitize the children on
how to make water portable for drinking as well as donate a home water purifier to them. The aim of this activity was
to increase availability of portable water to over 168 underprivileged children

     II-      VIRTUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON VACCINE HESITANCY

BACKGROUND:

The COVID-19 Pandemic has greatly affected the world economy and has resulted to untold damage to lives and
communities. With over 100 million COVID-19 cases worldwide and over 2 million deaths and a continuous wide
spread and resurgence in many countries, the battle against this virus is far from being over. The resurgence of
COVID-19 in many countries has been linked to the non- respect for barrier measures by individuals largely fueled
by the misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding the vaccine.

The entire world received a sigh of relieve after significant milestones of vaccine development was announced by the
World Health Organization. However instead of this great scientific progress being celebrated, the speed of vaccine
development has further strengthen certain conspiracy theories thereby increasing hesitancy to the vaccine by most
people. With misinformation about COVID-19 vaccine trending all over social media and the drama surrounding the
origin of the virus, most public health experts have warned of a stiff vaccine resistance especially among African
states.

Throughout 2020, Value Health Africa carried out series of research on” perceptions, attitudes and believes of
Africans on COVID-19 and a possible COVID-19 vaccine in 4 African countries. Analysis of the research showed
that only 5% of respondents had moderate knowledge of COVID-19. 33% of respondents did not even believe in the
existence of the virus while a large 76% believed COVID-19 is not of natural origin. Among the respondents, only
7% agree of taken a covid-19 vaccine if it is being developed.

The arrival of COVID-19 vaccine in some African countries was received with mixed feelings increasing tensions
and assault on health care workers. Parents have boycotted their children from school and women have stopped
routine vaccination of their children for fear of them being injected with the COVID-19 Vaccine. Health care workers
have been objects of assault as they are accused to siding with the government to administer COVID-19 vaccine to
people without their knowledge.

There is therefore a need to for the scientific community to put ideas together, share ideas and design the way
forward.
