Good news for women in Timbuktu was reported in the Brecon and Radnor Express this week - 44 of them have been trained to recognise Covid-19, and have been given the task of spreading information about the pandemic. There have also been radio broadcasts encouraging girls to return to school, and encouraging girls and women to re-engage with local health clinics.
This was made possible by a grant from the Welsh Government's Wales for Africa Scheme, which was made to Hay2Timbuktu. Hay2Timbuktu has already been involved in training girls in healthcare in the past.
Four health clinics and forty eight families have been helped by the grant, which has also been used to buy water containers, soap, disinfectant and protective equipment.
