Rutshuru: Kiwanja schools intensify barrier measures against Ebola after epidemic extension to Lubero

Schools in Kiwanja, Rutshuru territory in North Kivu, are strengthening hygiene measures against Ebola, including setting up handwashing stations. At Buturande Institute, students regularly wash their hands with soap, turning it into a habit. The student committee urges peers to adopt consistent hygiene practices to prevent virus spread, despite shortages of handwashing kits in some schools. These efforts follow the suspension of vehicle and motorcycle traffic on key routes after the Ebola outbreak extended to seven health zones in Lubero.
