Know about Coronavirus
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.
- Maintain at least 1 metre distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.
- Avoid touching your face.
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home if you feel unwell.
- Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.
- Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.
The COVID-19 virus affects different people in different ways. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease and most infected people will develop mild to moderate symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment. People who have underlying medical conditions and those over 60 years old have a higher risk of developing severe disease and death.
Common symptoms include:
- fever
- tiredness
- dry cough.
Other symptoms include:
- shortness of breath
- aches and pains
- sore throat
- and very few people will report diarrhoea, nausea or a runny nose.
People with mild symptoms who are otherwise healthy should self-isolate and contact their medical provider or a COVID-19 information line for advice on testing and referral.
People with fever, cough or difficulty breathing should call their doctor and seek medical attention.

Promoting girl child right
Youth Empowerment
YWAFT embraces ICT and promotes it adoption and implementations.
We strongly acknowledge how Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have already taken their permanent place in the socio-economic transformation of communities by speeding up the dissemination of information, facilitation of research and innovation much needed to address common community problems such as limited access to information about the markets for farmers’ produce, limited entrepreneurship knowledge especially among the youth, and limited access to meteorological information. ICTs have also simplified ways in which communities communicate. By just posting an idea or issue on social media, views and opinions are attracted that could be possible solutions to the issue at hand.

Clean and safe drinking water
YWAFT is enforcing the construction of water harvesting systems annexed to the classroom blocks in rural schools faced with the challenges of accessing clean and safe drinking water, and health facilities for harvesting rain water as well as the construction of lined VIP drainable latrines for boys containing urinals and handwashing facilities and for girls containing washrooms and handwashing facilities in the rural schools.
