Covid-19 is regressing considerably in Senegal. It has been more than two months since the country fell below the bar of less than 50 cases of covid-19 recorded per day and less than 20 serious cases. This satisfactory result is above all due to the incredible effort deployed by health services and agents throughout the country, which has led to Senegal being cited as an example in the management of the pandemic by international bodies.
However, the effects that last and hit the daily life of Senegalese people hard are the negative economic consequences of the pandemic. Many economic players and experts predict chaos if a good economic recovery is not triggered and led to success in Senegal.
Now what about the situation of children connected to the street who were already vulnerable before the pandemic and who find themselves in a worse position during this period of health crisis severely affecting the national economy.
Last year we managed to raise $ 5,000 which enabled us to support 200 street children through the distribution of food and hygiene kits, which has been of great help during this pandemic.
In this new year 2021 when the country's economy, which has fallen to a growth of -1%, the situation of street children is not improving and more than needs support in these times when the rare goodwill who were helping them are overwhelmed by economic hardship.
This is how we have renewed the request for support from donors of the fantastic GlobalGiving community to kindly accompany us to support these children who once again need you, your support and your love of good through this noble cause.
