How this gift helps
COVID-19 is affecting families across the globe, and infectious diseases like COVID-19 can have a detrimental and long-term impact on already vulnerable children. ChildFund is closely monitoring the COVID-19 crisis in all countries where we work and implementing relevant programs for disease prevention and containment. This health centre in Dakar, Senegal, was assisted with medical equipment like stethoscopes, weighing scales and blood pressure monitors. Your gift could help restock other health stations with desperately needed medicines, medical supplies, personal protective equipment and other necessities.
