As the COVID-19 pandemic raged through the world in 2020, for refugees living in the Moria camp in Greece survival became harder than ever. With most nonprofit organizations and aid agencies forced to shut operations in Moria, refugees were struggling for basic necessities.
The Azadi Project partnered with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Becky’s Bathhouse to provide refugee families with targeted interventions to protect their health during the pandemic. Over 1,300 refugees were sensitized on COVID-19 hygiene management and over 50,000 hygiene products were distributed during the lockdown. The Azadi Project also trained and equipped the team of volunteers for this COVID-19 and menstruation hygiene management campaign in the Moria camp. We adopted an inclusive approach, targeting men and youth to promote gender equity.
