Creating Sustainability in Comoros

In Comoros, a project funded by the UNDP (United Nationals Development Program) called DRR, or Resilience to the Risks of Climate Disasters, has made it its goal to build resilience in the Comoros population and improve their disaster response systems at the individual and community level. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they have recently shifted their efforts to controlling the spread and advocating for community awareness at this time. Anwadhui, a volunteer with DRR for 3 years, is a well-known name in the community. Through Anwadhui’s work and the work of his team, they have managed to modify the logistical operations of hospitals to be more energy efficient when it comes to oxygen and power generation. Specifically, they have installed respirators and hybrid solar generators to power the hospitals. In an emergency, they have also provided logistical support towards the transport of COVID-19 patients.
