COVID-19
Response Fund
Our vision of a world where no child is forgotten is more important now during COVID-19 than ever before.
COVID-19 means that the most vulnerable children are facing bigger risks and greater challenges. We need your support to ensure that now and in the future, we can support those children already left behind.
Extended lockdowns have already had a significant limiting access to food, health care and education. Many children now find themselves lacking a safe space to live or unable access to basic needs. The situation is even worse for girls and children with disabilities.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
87%
of children spent time out of school worldwide because of COVID-19.
Our Response Fund so far
Distributed face masks and other protective equipment to over 2,000 vulnerable people.
1,000 people in Uganda’s refugee settlements given handwashing and sanitiser facilities.
200 children on the streets received emergency food packages.
64 radio lessons broadcast in Kisumu, Kenya, to keep children learning during lockdown.
Become a changemaker by donating today and help us ensure that Coronavirus doesn’t steal children’s right to a brighter future.
I was called on to help with sewing the masks that will be distributed to vulnerable and disabled women and children. Before and after every shift we washed our hands, and in the workshop we kept apart.
I will use the new money I’ve earned to invest in my business, which will help me earn money to support my young children.
