The HTLL Podcast

In this episode, we explore the growing global challenge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and how holistic health practices can combat them. Joined by Dr. Peter Landless and Dr. Josue Orellana, we discuss the CELEBRATIONS program, its principles, and its implementation in Mongolia. Listen to learn how partnerships between ADRA and Adventist Health Ministries are making a global impact and how these initiatives could transform health outcomes worldwide.

In this episode, we explore the crucial role of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in humanitarian settings with our guest, Fadzai Munodawafa, WASH Projects Coordinator at ADRA Zimbabwe. Fadzai sheds light on integrating MHM principles into WASH initiatives, addressing cultural taboos, and fostering collaboration to empower communities. Join us as we uncover the impact of prioritising menstrual health on communities affected by crises.

This is the second episode in The HTLL Podcast's three-part series on Health, Nutrition, and WASH in Conflict Zones. In this episode, we’re joined by Natsayi Nembaware, ADRA International’s Sr. Technical Advisor for Nutrition, for a discussion focused on nutrition in conflict zones.

It’s a sobering fact: In several conflict zones, more deaths are attributed to illnesses resulting from poor health, nutrition, and access to WASH than just the bullets of war. In this episode, we discuss the challenges, opportunities, and realities of implementing WASH humanitarian interventions within the context of conflicts. Our guest is Mona Mohammed, ADRA International’s former WASH Advisor for the Middle East and North Africa region.

In this episode, we learn about an exciting technology for psychosocial support (PSS) from Eric Leichner, Regional Emergency Manager for the South America Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church based in Brazil. 

We've gathered a diverse group of ADRA colleagues (Shilpi from ADRA India; Davidson from ADRA International; Anna from ADRA Germany; and Melissa from ADRA International/Loma Linda) to discuss One Health and its growing relevance for the humanitarian sector.
