On July 27, 2024, The Cleaner’s Network Africa (CNA) took a proactive step to combat the spread of cholera in Lagos by organizing a sensitization campaign at Bariga Market. Recognizing the crucial role of proper hand hygiene and sanitation in preventing the disease, our dedicated members mobilized resources to provide hundreds of hand washes and sanitizers. The campaign focused on educating market vendors and shoppers about the importance of handwashing and proper sanitizer use.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Our team demonstrated effective handwashing techniques and distributed informational handbills. We were able to reach and sensitize a significant number of individuals within the market, providing them with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves and their families. The positive feedback from community leaders, market stakeholders, and passersby was encouraging, and CNA is committed to continuing such initiatives to improve community health and well-being.
