Finding ways to survive as a refugee is always a challenge - and even more difficult during a pandemic. But our "Protecting The Frontline" program to help stem COVID-19 spread has not only helped displaced people in Kenya's Kakuma Refugee Camp survive - it's helping them stay safe and even thrive. We've partnered with @NeedsList4Good and @hotosm workers to help match frontline workers in Bangladesh, Kenya, Iraq and Uganda who need personal protective equipment with local manufacturers in those countries who can make it for them. With support from @HumanitarianGC, the program has already received more than 500,000 orders and helped protect more than 250,000 frontline workers who are working to prevent disease spread. In Kakuma, the program helps participants on multiple levels - in addition to helping prevent COVID-19 and other diseases, it also provides job training and income opportunities for refugees and promotes recycling and sustainable development.
