In response to the coronavirus epidemic, Jeunesse Kids donated $500,000 USD to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Key areas of impact:

• Close to $200 million has been raised to date to deploy resources to areas with the most acute needs and the most vulnerable health systems.
• The Fund has disbursed more than $60 million to accelerate vaccine development, equip frontline responders with life-saving personal protective equipment and protect the most vulnerable children and families in low-resource settings.
• In mid-April, UN partners teamed up on the first Solidarity Flight, part of an effort to rapidly reestablish a global pandemic supply chain.
