This project aims at contributing to stop the spreading of the virus of COVID 19 and through the donation of prevention kits and communication. The implementation of this project is very important because it will focus on communication to sensitise populations how to prevent themselves and the donation of prevention kits. In fact, we will conduct behaviour change activities in communities (awareness raising sessions) which are essential to achieve the direct effects of the project (end COVID 19)
