Right at the height of COVID-19 infectionand like in most places, many people here needed a number of support both in terms of information and facilities, to enable them fight the virus. CEOU acted swiftly with the support of our esteem donors and raised $1000 which was used to purchase hygeine facilities, temperature measuring machine, and printed out ministrty of health's approved COVID-19 information and translated them into local languages to send clear messages to help people fight the spread of the diseases.
This campaign to prevent COVID-19 infection continued until when a relapse ended in a second wave of the infection. In the second wave, CEOU continued to emphasize the need to prevent infection by preaching about mask wearing, practicing good hygeine and seeking medical attention in case sypmtoms were presence. This was done in collaboration with other institutions and the disrict task force set to fight the disease.
During the second wave, the effects of the lockdown measures intiatiated by the government became more challenging than the diseases itself. Many people were laid off their jobs, yet most are not monthly salary earners but rather casual workers who live from hands to mouths.
CEOU initiated a small emergency project to help curb down the effects of the lockdown, where it provided severely affected households with food items and cleaning materials.
Currently, CEOU has ended all activities on this project. CEOU would like to thank all our supporters for contributing to this noble cause.
