- Resource Mobilization: We work tirelessly to mobilize resources, both financial and in-kind, to ensure that individuals and communities have access to essentials such as food, healthcare, financial assistance, and mental health support.
- Information and Education: We provide accurate and up-to-date information on COVID-19, preventive measures, available resources, and support services to empower individuals and enable them to make informed decisions.
- Community Building: We strive to build strong and connected communities by organizing events, workshops, and support networks where individuals can come together, share experiences, and support one another.
- Advocacy and Policy Influence: We advocate for policies that address the systemic issues exposed by the pandemic, with the aim of creating long-term solutions and promoting social justice.
