Helping Children & Families Stay Strong
Miranda attends a Compassion child development center in El Salvador. As the pandemic began to spread across the country, the center distributed hygiene kits for every child and their family. Most families, like Miranda’s have limited access to clean water. The kits include soap, hand sanitizer along with vitamins to help the children stay strong and build their immunity. “We wanted to start a preventive initiative,” said Center Director Vicky. “We wanted to strengthen the children’s immune systems and protect them from COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, it was very difficult to buy hygiene items.”
