The Somali Bantu Community Associate received a grant in 2010 to fund a program coordinator and stipends for outreach workers for two campaigns on lead paint contaimination and the dangers of prescription drugs being stored and used inappropriately. SBCA field workers will make home visits in the community, to raise awareness about the potential dangers of both the incorrect use of medications and the proper storage of medicines and the risks of lead paint.
