Orphanages in low and middle income countries (LMICs) are particularly vulnerable to epidemics. In order to protect the hosted children from Covid-19, the local team of volunteers from R-Evolution Worldwide will visit some orphanages in the rural area of Freetown (capital of Sierra Leone, West Africa), to provide furnishings, materials, instructions and practical examples to improve hygienic prophylaxis against infectious diseases such as Covid-19. The initiative aims to involve children in the form of a game and for this reason it is called “Soap bubbles against coronavirus”. The intervention will start in the next few days and will be conducted under the supervision of the Government of Sierra Leone (Ministry of Social Welfare, Gender & Children’s Affairs).
