Pennywise has been working with the Amazon Hope team on a preparedness plan for the Kuikuro of the Xingu region of the Amazon. Together we have mounted a response that includes:
-Support for traveling Kuikuro returning to the village;
-Getting supplies including food, gas, soap, cloth for masks, clear plastic and parts for equipment; and
-Adapting structures in the village for quarantine
Nurses and health monitors are currently being trained in the Xingu and all hands are on deck to protect indigenous communities from the devastation that could come from Covid-19.
Together we can save lives.
