  • A member of the World Renew technical field staff in Uganda shows an African Armyworm. Armyworm get their name because they can be seen 'marching' from place to place in large numbers, across roads and other areas devoid of vegetation. They feed on all types of grasses and can devastate entire crops of maize in a matter of days.

"the community was affected firstly by the flooding, most of it was under 1.5m of water, people lost everything, their kitchens, bedding, domestic animals like pigs and chickens. In agricultural prodution people lost rice, maize, bananas, the basic food for people. The flooding also affected the roads, it cut through 7m deep and 20m wide in one place. It will need a big investment to get us back to where we were. But because we can't get in to the fields because of the roads, we don't know how we'll replant"

  • Aboubacar Sylla, aged 79, lost 4 members of his family in the Ebola outbreak of 2014-15. <br />
<br />
His daughter M’Mah was one of the lucky ones. As soon as she started showing symptoms of the deadly disease, her father made sure that she was taken straight to hospital where early treatment helped save her life. <br />
<br />
Surrounded by multiple generations of his large family at their home in the district of Dixinn Port, Conakry, Sylla tells how the family was shunned by their own community when Ebola struck his family.<br />
<br />
“Before the Ebola outbreak, everyone talked to one another here. Then suddenly we weren’t even allowed to leave our house,” he said.<br />
<br />
People stopped using the well in the open area in front of their home for fear of contamination and the children were forbidden to step out past the boundary of their front courtyard where they were used to playing.<br />
<br />
M’Mah was not living in the family house when she got sick, but her brother Aboubacar was the one who went to her house where she was living with her husband and took her to the Ebola treatment centre in Nongo. <br />
<br />
“Everyone was so scared of Ebola but I couldn’t just abandon my sister. She would have died,” he said, telling how his decision to ride in the ambulance with her caused division within the family.<br />
Since then, even though he never got sick, Aboubacar has suffered stigma from his contact with Ebola and has found it difficult to get work anymore. <br />
<br />
As soon as M’Mah arrived at the Ebola treatment centre, the disease surveillance system alerted the vaccine trial team of this new case. The team sent two local social mobilizers, trained specifically by WHO for this delicate role, to visit the family and to ask if they would agree to participate in a research trial to help develop a vaccine against Ebola. <br />
The Guinea vaccine trial, led by WHO, used a method called ring vaccination. This method, used to eradicate smallpox, aims to vaccinate a “ring” of all the people who had close contact with the pe

At the peak of the Ebola outbreak in Guinea, the Nongo Ebola treatment centre had so many patients arriving at its gates that people were left to die on the gravel outside. <br />
“One night, 28 people died here. I still have nightmares, I saw too many dead people,” said Dr Mohammed Keita, manager of the centre where he was in charge of 250 employees.  <br />
The former Ebola treatment centre appears abandoned. Boot stands and shelves once filled with protective gear and chlorine spray backpacks lie empty.  <br />
<br />
Keita tells how one night a pregnant woman came in to the centre. She was already bleeding and very ill. It was too late to save her. She gave birth to a baby girl before she died. <br />
“That little baby was blessed by God,” he said, pointing to a photo of the child taped to the wall where patient records and lists of staff mark the wall. <br />
<br />
She tested positive for Ebola and we were prepared to lose her as well. Then, a few days later, she tested negative for the disease. We all looked after her here, naming her Nubia after one of the health workers who worked at the centre.<br />
<br />
Since the Ebola outbreak ended, the treatment centre is now caring for people with other infectious diseases including measles, yellow fever and other diseases with potential to cause epidemics.

  • The drill for destroying the Ebola virus where medical staff come in contact with confirmed cases is strict routine, one small mistake and the infection can be passed on. Staff in PPE, are often close to being overcome by the heat and dehydration, and sometimes need to be shouted instructions like "raise your head up" as each part of the drill is gone through, a series of specific movements as they are sprayed with a bleach solution and each part of the protective clothing is peeled off in the right order and in the right direction, and put straight in the incineration bucket, even the ground where they stand is considered contaminated and has to be covered in bleach. Eventually, a very grateful and completely sweat-sodden worker emerges from inside.

<br />
Quilombos are remote hinterland settlements in Brazil set up by escaped slaves of African origin. Though most of them were destroyed by slave owners and the Brazilian state, today there are around 5,000 recognised quilombos in Brazil. Slavery was legal in Brazil for four centuries and some five million slaves were brought to Brazil, most of them from the Angola area. Today the largest population of people of African descent in the world, with the exception of Nigeria, is Brazil.

Today the largest population of people of African descent in the world, with the exception of Nigeria, is Brazil.<br />
<br />
When the owner of the Caiacanga farm died in the 18th century, the slaves he owned disappeared and hid in the forest, one of them was Gregorio Marinho who established the Pedro Cubas quilombo with other escaped slaves from farms and the gold mines in the region.<br />
<br />
The Pedro Cubas community has 3,800 hectares and around 60 families and 230 people, most of them under 15.<br />
<br />
The community farms collectively to produce cassava, yam, sweet potato, corn, beans, banana and sugar cane. <br />
<br />
Like many quilombos, it is remote. For centuries, rivers were the main means of transport, so the closer a quilombo community was to a large river, the greater the likelihood of being discovered and destroyed. The 5000 quilombos that survived are mainly in hinterlands and access can be difficult. To reach Pedro Cubas the river to cross on the only way in is using a ferry that is operated without an engine, using only the flow of the river.<br />
<br />
The lands of Pedro Cubas were partially titled in 2003 by the government of the State of São Paulo. But, despite the decree, non-quilombola occupants remain in the area.

Though most of them were destroyed by slave owners and the Brazilian state, today there are around 5,000 recognised quilombos in Brazil. Slavery was legal in Brazil for four centuries and some five million slaves were brought to Brazil, most of them from the Angola area. Today the largest population of people of African descent in the world, with the exception of Nigeria, is Brazil.<br />
<br />
When the owner of the Caiacanga farm died in the 18th century, the slaves he owned disappeared and hid in the forest, one of them was Gregorio Marinho who established the Pedro Cubas quilombo with other escaped slaves from farms and the gold mines in the region.<br />
<br />
The Pedro Cubas community has 3,800 hectares and around 60 families and 230 people, most of them under 15.<br />
<br />
The community farms collectively to produce cassava, yam, sweet potato, corn, beans, banana and sugar cane. <br />
<br />
Like many quilombos, it is remote. For centuries, rivers were the main means of transport, so the closer a quilombo community was to a large river, the greater the likelihood of being discovered and destroyed. The 5000 quilombos that survived are mainly in hinterlands and access can be difficult. To reach Pedro Cubas the river to cross on the only way in is using a ferry that is operated without an engine, using only the flow of the river.<br />
<br />
The lands of Pedro Cubas were partially titled in 2003 by the government of the State of São Paulo. But, despite the decree, non-quilombola occupants remain in the area.

  • In Sarakoh village in northern Sierra Leone, World Renew works with partner CER. In this region african palm oil is extracted in the traditional way by hand. First the palm oil nuts are harvested from the trees and the nuts removed from the bunches. The nuts are boiled with water in a drum and some of the oil comes to the surface and is skimmed off, then the remaining mixture is put in a pit and workers break the boiled nuts down with their feet, finally the mash is squeezed by hand to extract the last of the oil. A jerrycan of oil is sold on the local market for less than ten dollars.
