CAMPAIGN OF SUPPORT AGAINST COVID-19 IN LOWER AMAZON
With the rapid proliferation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the northern region of Brazil is a cause for concern due to logistical difficulties, extreme lack of infrastructure, and vulnerability of the population – especially indigenous peoples and riverside communities.
Given this, the Health and Happiness prepared itself and at the start of the year began to direct its work to fighting against the virus. Needs were determined with health agencies and community organizations, resources were relocated and new partners were mobilized.
And with this, the #ComSaudeeAlegriaSemCorona Campaign was created.
