Il y a deux ans, l’équipe à RHD Action a raconté les histoires de deux jeunes hommes, y compris Wesly Marcena, vit près de Port-au-Prince en Haïti. 

Two years ago, the RHD Action team told the stories of two young men, including Wesly Marcena, who lives near Port-au-Prince in Haiti.

Ms Dilys Kemunto Nyariki, a sixth-year medical student at Moi University, School of Medicine in Eldoret, Kenya was the project lead on behalf of the Eldoret Chapter of the Young Professionals Chronic Disease Network (YPCDN) for the project entitled, “Hearts to Hearts: A Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) Awareness Campaign.” This is the second RHD Action Small Grant recipient to complete their project and a report of their accomplishments follows.

Launched this year, the RHD Action Small Grants Program funded five project proposals in low-and-middle income countries across the globe to support groups who are already addressing the work of RHD and to bring the work of key RHD stakeholders under the RHD Action banner. Successful applicants were awarded $2000 with the expectation that that the activity would be completed within six-months.
