We're inspired by updates from our partners in Africa, who have been sharing with us the ways in which they are supporting their communities in the current crisis. Although official figures are relatively low at the moment, there is real concern about how these communities would be affected by a rise in cases. Whilst training programmes are largely on hold, our partner organisations are hard at work adapting their activities. Future Focus Foundation in Sierra Leone - pictured above - have been providing handwashing facilities and utilising vocational training participants to make face masks for distribution amongst saving groups they support in more rural areas. They have also donated to the District Emergency Operations Centre (DEOC) to help supply food to quarantine homes in Kenema.
