@FionnaCSmyth Glad to hear that!

We are using the translations of these leaflets in Kikuyu and Swahili to socialise Covid measures with the communities in Nakuru

COVID-19 information leaflets in Maragoli and Kabras. Check out previous tweets for more languages.

Let's create short videos in more African languages! Here is one example from DRC/SA in #Lilanga // @kalonji_08 #COVID19video info.africarxiv.org/multilingual-c…

@AfricArxiv Thank you! We are open to discuss any ideas for collaboration that you may have in mind. Please drop us a line on info at eaita dot org.

@eaita_org how can we work together to get the message to as many local communities in East Africa in their local languages? And what about accessibility, penetration of the message...

Sensitization message on preventing the spread of #covid19 in #Luo language spoken in East Africa, thanks to @eaita_org We need more messages targeting indigenous population and as many grassroot communities as possible. You can be that voice here 👉 buff.ly/34fNZ0i

@RC_Hurlingham Thank you for the kind words.

#COVID19Pandemic #Kenyans @eaita_org Language barriers are an obstacle in fighting pandemics. Thank you for taking down this obstacle so that the right message goes out to all Kenyans in their local language.

@eaita_org Thank you for creating this. It will go a long way to get the correct message in the language best understand on the ground to the rest of the country. #Kenyans #COVID19

@TheTrueNorthKe @fredrickchiwan4 @amanikibwe @aliheydarSu We are encouraged by your kind words. Thank you.

@eaita_org @fredrickchiwan4 @amanikibwe @aliheydarSu Thank you for caring enough to share.

EAITA members have come together to create awareness on #Coronavirus (COVID-19) by translating information leaflets into local languages. Thanks @Matthiasky for spearheading the initiative and to all our members who took part.

@OndariMogeni @scheafferoo Asante sana Daktari. Let's see what we can do.

@scheafferoo @eaita_org have come up with print translations. Maybe they may have video clips. twitter.com/OndariMogeni/s…

I believe it's possible to have COVID19 messages like the short clip ads in various Kenyan languages. Counter misinformation with languages that people understand and where they are. Someone?!
