Summary: Our dedicated teams moved rapidly to adapt our existing projects to address the knock-on effects of COVID-19 – from increased levels of violence against women, to children losing out on an education during lockdown. Through media, we’re helping people understand what they can do, individually and as a community, and how they can hold their leaders to account.We are committed to supporting the international response for the long haul – helping people to survive, cope and recover from COVID-19, meeting their diverse and changing needs, and supporting local media to keep their communities informed. As an independent charity, we are not funded by the BBC TV Licence Fee. We rely on the support of generous donors – governments, foundations, corporations and individuals – to make our work possible. Trusted and accurate information will save lives.
