📍 Tawila Locality – North Darfur
📆 November 2025
The Deriba Center for Environmental Studies (DCES) continues its commitment to improving community health, marking Day Three of the capacity-building workshop for volunteer groups from Tawila Al-Omda and Dabanaira camps.
This vital training enhances community skills in latrine hygiene, safe sanitation, and cholera prevention, ensuring that families are empowered with the knowledge to protect themselves and their communities.
Before the start of the workshop sessions, DCES held an introductory meeting with volunteer representatives from Tawila Al-Omda and Dabanaira camps. The session highlighted the objectives of the Emergency Cholera Response initiative, the role of community volunteers, and the importance of WASH practices in protecting families from cholera outbreaks. This meeting laid the foundation for active participation and community ownership throughout the training.
