The Adventist Medical Evangelism and Health Network (AMEN), a nongovernmental organization, has donated relief items to residents of Trebuom, a community in the Mpohor District of the Western region.

As an organization, AMEN deemed it necessary and appropriate to sensitize and raise public awareness of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) through extensive education on some precautionary measures to stem and contain the spread of the virus in rural and deprived communities.

Items donated to the community included but not limited to hand sanitizers, liquid soaps, tissues and vitamin Cs.

The donation was immensely supported by the contributions of members of the AMEN, as well as Mr and Mrs Cudjoe (Apowa) and a sponsor from the UK.
