The right to health is a fundamental human right and is one of the essential conditions for exercising other human rights. However, not everyone can fully enjoy the right to health. Many people including the pregnant and children still cannot access crucial health services, so leads to high maternal mortality, child death and various infectious diseases. In addition, millions of people are at great risk to poor life conditions and health due to drinking insufficient water and water-borne diseases because no clean and sufficient water sources is available.
We recognize that ensuring people’s right to health is more than important. Therefore, we will work to ensure that people have access to basic health services. In addition, we will improve the access to drinking water and hygiene facilities to provide safe and sufficient drinking water.
Good Neighbors is supporting various programs in response to the COVID-19. Specifically, we are concerned about our children’s mental health, who should have stayed at home during school closures.
Good Neighbors has published a summary of the research, which was co-conducted by HanKuk University of Foreign Studies and Good Neighbors Global Partnership Center over the first half of this year, to analyze the psychological and economic impact of COVID-19 on children and adults living in impoverished regions of Kenya and Zambia.
