How we are navigating COVID-19
To all of you affected by the coronavirus in any form, our thoughts are with you. We are doing everything possible to support our children, beneficiaries, staff and volunteers during this challenging time.
The health and safety of our children and beneficiaries is always our priority; accordingly our in country managers are applying the critical incident management plan we have developed that covers hygiene as well as isolation in some cases.
We know the next months are going to be tough for all of us and our fundraising will be equally effected, however, we are ferociously determined to deliver on our promises to you and to our children as per our project plans this year, continuing with our mission to change the future of children living in poverty through education.

Take care and if you would like any further updates please feel free to contact Cass on cassandra@sotheycan.org or +64278719031.
