Amid Pandemic, Public Washbasins Multiply in DRC

Kavugho Syavughangise, a seamstress, washes her hands in front of a shop in Kirumba, Democratic Republic of Congo. After this eastern region heard about the coronavirus outbreak, the number of washbasins in public areas and houses increased. “I know that COVID-19 has killed thousands of people," she says. "But it made me realize that I need to keep my hands clean all the time.”
