Our goal is to raise
$10,000 to support Right to Play
in their efforts to help children most affected by the impacts of Covid-19.
"The COVID-19 pandemic will devastate places where health systems are already fragile, physical distancing is impossible, and economies and social safety nets are weak. Children are particularly vulnerable in a crisis like this one. School shut-downs and economic hardship puts kids at risk of sickness, child labour, and early marriage."
