Country office update
- We’re closely monitoring the situation in the countries where we have sponsored children. This virus could have a huge impact on already strained healthcare systems in these developing countries
- As of Tuesday, March 24, staff from all our offices — in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Nicaragua and Paraguay — have been working from home
- Our local partners are working from home when they’re able
- Where possible, we continue to work with local healthcare workers to distribute hygiene kits equipped with soap and educational materials; we’ve provided nutritional supplements; we’re connecting communities virtually, so children can continue to learn and engage with others; we’re raising awareness about how to keep safe; and we’re creating comprehensive response plans addressing issues such as child-protection and education
