We work hard in very hot conditions alongside remote communities to provide plumbing fixes for functional homes for health, family based health yarns, hygiene products and towels. So it’s important to have a bit of fun along the way! This is the team in the NG Lands this week. Robin Larmer Kamerman Robert Mullane Ngaanyatjarra Council Group Jasper Lush Mel Stoneham

Fiji has become the 26th country to eliminate trachoma with the World Health Organization (WHO) confirming that trachoma is no longer a public health problem in Fiji. Sustained efforts included school health, water and sanitation initiatives, and community awareness programs https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/misc-emerging-topics/fiji-eliminates-trachoma-worlds-leading-cause-blindness-public-health-problem EndTrachoma Pacific-Community-SPC Fiji

You can’t fix health problems without fixing the places where people live-and that’s what the team is up to this week in the Midwest. Three groups of Environmental Health Practitioners have come together to work alongside families in their homes – supporting them to improve conditions, maintain health hardware and create healthier living environments. That’s real, on the ground change!
