DOFDAHR field teams prioritized reaching the most vulnerable groups to strengthen their resilience and enable them to adopt effective preventive measures to reduce the spread of cholera.Earlier in the project, field teams also conducted community awareness campaigns to promote hygiene practices and public health, ensuring that women and girls are empowered to protect their families.
