"Floor4Africa vs. Ebola"
In 2026 Ebola returned to Africa for the 17th time. DRC was affected most, but several cases were also diagnosed in Uganda. No infections in Kenya again. However, a lot of anxiety in Busia County. Proximity to Ugandan border started to change the way people live and work over there. Therefore, we decided to support them with going through the challenging time. The Floor4Africa Programme has been introfuced to the local community of the "Hope Junior Academy" in Buyayi village. Our volunteering researchers: Brian and Maya, identified an urgent need of the 30sqm big floor. This way, we can launch the challenge "Floor4Africa" vs. Ebola'sside effects in local economy. Local materials and labour force are everything we need to start carrying out the unusual methododology we are famous for. So, we found great donors in Poland - Piotr & Basia. Moreover, Celina from Austria supported media relation. Field research, construction works in the "Stan Floor C16/20 AFRICA" standard, and data appeared to be not more than 700 EUR, in total. You see, it's enough to mobilise local resources and to introduce new approach to the local develoment.
