FRC’S WORK AGAINST THE CORONAVIRUS

FRC has begun work against the coronavirus in its areas of operation, reaching 293,800 people in refugee camps and conflict-affected areas in Myanmar, Uganda and Liberia. In addition to training on how to prevent the spread of the virus, we run information campaigns and supply refugee camps with water, protective equipment, soap and seeds of edible plants.

There are 82.4 million displaced persons in the world today.
