The awareness campaign on monkeypox conducted by young U-Reporters in Kindu, Maniema, has generated great interest among students at the Enano Institute. This commendable initiative, aimed at providing information on the dangers of the M-pox disease and how to protect against it, is of paramount importance in the fight against this scourge that threatens the community.
Armed with their conviction and their posters illustrating the symptoms of monkeypox, the young U-Reporters took the floor to raise awareness among their peers on the risks of this disease and the urgency of breaking the chain of transmission. An educational and civic approach that deserves to be commended, because it encourages collective awareness and concrete actions in favor of public health.
Kisindja Maiza Jam’s, a young U-Reporter from Kindu, emphasizes the importance of this awareness campaign given the scale of monkeypox among the Congolese population. This disease is indeed a permanent threat to the community, hence the need to inform and educate young people about the symptoms and means of prevention to stem its spread.
