Identifying those in need<\/strong><\/h4>\n

As the rest of the world grapples with the global pandemic, in the East Guji Zone of Ethiopia, it is no different. A COVID-19 crisis has emerged and enveloped most of the area, preventing emergency provisions, creating barriers to accessing education, clean water has been difficult to source and access to supplies has been limited.<\/p>\n

Imagine1day was able to provide 1,500 solar chargeable radios complete with nightstand lights and 1,482 educational USBs to 6,000 children in grades 1-4 and distributed 23,000 soaps to over 2,100 households. These provisions were all part of imagine1day\u2019s efforts to assist 18 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) sites throughout four major districts located in the East Guji Zone.<\/p>\n

Each flashdrive contained 15 episodes of subjects created expressly for students in grades 1-4 four: Afan Oromo, Math, English and Environmental science. Out of these 240 educational flashdrive programs, nine contained COVID -19 messaging and safety information.<\/p>\n

Banners containing COVID-19 messaging and communications have been created and distributed throughout all 18 sites in the hopes of raising more awareness about the ongoing global health issue.<\/p>\n
