The Afghanistan Green Crescent Organization (AGCO) successfully carried out a public health campaign to prevent mosquito-borne and skin diseases in the Kunar Lewa IDP Camp. Supported by Direct Relief through AAHO, this life-saving initiative reached 260 displaced families (3,570 individuals) through a door-to-door distribution and awareness program.
AGCO distributed insect-repellent dispensers and spray bottles to protect vulnerable families from rising mosquito-borne threats. Alongside the distribution, the campaign prioritized health education, teaching residents about proper repellent use, hygiene practices, and mosquito-control measures.
This intervention was implemented in close coordination with camp authorities and community leaders, ensuring effective outreach and strong community engagement. The effort plays a vital role in reducing vector-borne disease risks and enhancing living conditions during a sensitive seasonal period.
