When Carol Mwape, a 29 year old female from Southern Province, Zambia testified that she was able to manage a Covid-19 patient from home, with guidance from the 321 hotline messages, that’s the point I felt an affirmation within me that we are impacting livelihoods out there to make informed decisions.

Reading the qualitative interviews conducted to appreciate the impact of the messages distributed across Mozambique through our 321 service made me aware how much of the information gap is out there and how we, through this project, were able to contribute to the national effort in raising awareness and fighting the pandemic.

We’re happy that through the 3-2-1 hotline, we have reached 789,858 people in Madagascar by giving them useful information related to health issues as well as job losses or local authorities functions to help them face the COVID-19 crisis. Besides that, we have trained 1,770 community health workers by sending them training content on their simple mobile phones and broadcasted 127 radio dramas episodes on COVID-19 prevention and secondary effects. We are proud to say that this project was a success.

Hearing a 19 year old comment on how the messages helped her prevent pregnancies at a time when schools were closed due to Covid19 made me appreciate the impact of the CallvsCorona project on the lives of people. In Malawi where about half of the women bear children before 18 years of age, such positive feedback goes a long way in showing the relevance of the campaign in real lives.

“I once had Covid 19 and 667 has really helped me on how to take care of myself and others. Also on how to wash your hands frequently and isolate myself from others if feeling unwell and seek medical care, if needed.

I’m always amazed by how much power information has, in the midst of so much disinformation a simple mobile solution is able to provide a commendable opponent. Our qualitative interviews showed that we even had listeners turned into info-powered citizens who were confident enough to refuse the misinformation shared by their local leaders. The ability to reach the rural parts of Haiti with valuable key messages that over 12 months of other national interventions were not, is simply amazing.

I learnt on how to prevent myself from Corona virus by keeping a distance of at least 1 meter apart from others and disinfecting frequently after I touched objects. And also on how to take care of a sick person.
