Mona Foundation: We are supporting all of our schools to transitional to digital platforms to improve dissemination of information to their students and families and to continue with the education of their students. We are also supplying these schools and families with educational resources and key information.
Pencils of Promise: Pencils of Promise was founded on the belief that each child deserves access to quality education. In many of the communities we partner with in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos, this access is impacted by our students’ ability to access clean water and learn Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene practices. Now, more than ever, WASH Programming is an essential component of safety from the virus that has impacted each of us.
Justice and Care: Justice & Care, a Pineapple Fund recipient, is now fundraising cryptocurrency to support their work providing urgent supplies to victims of human trafficking who lost their support systems as a result of the coronavirus. Already living hand to mouth, human trafficking victims are relying on Justice & Care to keep them safe from the impacts of COVID-19 and maintain a support network to prevent them from being re-trafficked.”
