As we all focus more on washing our hands, our little ones are doing the same. Whether its at school or home, after play or just before a meal, we ensure our children know the importance of maintaining good hygiene 💦

We know it’s important for you to see the impact of your donation. That’s why we always send all our sponsors their child’s yearly school report. You can see how your donation is transforming their education and future opportunities. #Sponsor #Education #Childrenscharity

During a pandemic, malnutrition rates can increase sharply, leading to higher mortality rates, as malnourished people have weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to disease.

#COVID19 Our greatest concern is the impact this can have on the most vulnerable people we serve.
