Just read this Devex news piece, and I can’t stop thinking about this line by Dr. Jean Kaseya of the Africa CDC:
➡️ “Up to 60% of foreign health aid to Africa is effectively wasted.”
That’s not a typo. Sixty percent.

From poverty to displacement to systemic inequity, mental well-being is shaped by far more than what happens inside a clinic.

🙅🏾‍♀️ Year-end giving season means an endless barrage of comments around “helping Canadians first”. With the backdrop of #Budget2025 announcing a whopping $2.7B cut to the #InternationalAssistance Envelope (IAE), it feels important to address comments like these.

She was 4 months pregnant. Walking to collect her school report card.
Then, in an instant, she fell. And couldn’t stand up again.

In Jojoima, Sierra Leone, far from the capital, 23-year-old Fatimata’s world collapsed. She lay on the ground, paralyzed from the waist down, terrified. 🧵1️⃣

When we think of #accompaniment, our work alongside communities in #WestAfrica quickly comes to mind. 🌍
When @pih.org was invited to provide urgent support in responding to #Ebola. But rather than provide short-term emergency support, we looked deeper. 👀

...and so it begins 🧡
eleven years ago, Kono, Sierra Leone was at the heart of the Ebola crisis.

today, that same community is home to the Paul E. Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence: a place of healing, dignity, and hope. 🍀

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social: “Canada’s leadership will no longer be defined by the strength of our values, but by the value of our strength.”

If that means fire jets and missiles over aid, Carney is wrong.
Canada’s power is our values.

When aid is cut, lives are cut short.
U.S. aid cuts are gutting global health programs. Now the question is: will Canada lead, or stay silent?

I just read this @apnews.com investigation about Lesotho and it blew my mind.

For those who’ve never heard of it 😉: Lesotho is a tiny, mountainous country in southern Africa.

And what’s happening there right now says everything about how fragile #globalhealth really is. apnews.com/projects/Les...
In Lesotho, US aid cuts leave people living with HIV in limbo
Lesotho, once with the world’s second-highest HIV rate, faces a health crisis as U.S. aid cuts dismantle vital HIV treatment programs, leaving patients without care.
