VULNERABLE CHILDREN AFFECTED BY COVID

Millions of vulnerable people living in poorer countries are less prepared for an epidemic outbreak which can lead to interruptions in their ability to work, decreasing available resources, and higher costs of goods. We are concerned that these countries will likely witness increased levels of food insecurity and consequently higher levels of malnutrition.

As a result, our teams are supporting the most vulnerable children and their families with nutritional support using market-based approaches to support local economies. These approaches include the provision of cash and vouchers, food distribution, and care packs (locally purchased) to help families to provide for their basic food needs.
