In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, TGH team is raising awareness among street children in Bangui about hygiene practices, such as hand washing.

These prevention and awareness-raising sessions take place during social round-up organized with street children in the Central African capital, and with vulnerable children accommodated at the Sôh Center of the Voix du Coeur Foundation, partner of TGH.

The activities of the Food Security and Livelihood project led by TGH in consortium in the Vakaga prefecture, financed by the European Union's Bêkou Fund, are back on track despite the security incidents of recent months.

Thus, in June, 1000 individual producers (including 385 women) were selected to proceed with the distribution of seeds (sesame, sorghum, cowpea) and tools (hoes).

The distribution took place over several weeks without a hitch in Birao and on the Ouanda-Djallé axis.

Five cassava-producing zones were also identified and provided with 3,000 cuttings per zone.

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the entire world in the past few months. However, around the world, many people living remote areas do not have access to water, soap or information to protect themselves and their families.

Working in Nepal since 2015, TGH has decided to respond to this challenge providing appropriate material and technical support to Panchpokhari Thangpal Rural Municipality, a very isolate and mountainous region. Targeting the entire community, including vulnerable households, elderly people, women and children, local authorities and health posts, our COVID-19 Action plan aims to raise awareness on individual protection at the community level, support the needs of community members with safety equipment and support the health posts staffs in identifying the infected people.

TGH is working with the elderly in Eastern Ukraine since 2016. They represent 41% of the population and are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. To limit the spread of the epidemic, the organization is carrying on its home-based support, its psychosocial consultations and food kits distribution.

Furthermore TGH offers hygiene kits to its beneficiaries and health care institutions in order to limit the spread of the virus. The organization also conducted COVID-19 awareness activities by sharing information and communication materials to beneficiaries and partners.
