In 2020, despite the health crisis, our teams in Switzerland and in the field continued to provide quality education and health care for mothers, pregnant women and underprivileged children throughout the world.

Following the upheavals caused by COVID-19, Enfants du Monde quickly adapted its programs in the field. We ensured the protection of health workers and pregnant women, supporting the actions of national Ministries of Health and our local partners. We found solutions to resume educational activities in complete safety and to protect pupils and teaching staff.

None of this would have been possible without the valuable support of our donors, partners and supporters. On behalf of our beneficiaries, thank you!

2020 HIGHLIGHTS

	New teaching material - Chad In April, a set of teaching material developed by our education team and local partners has been distributed for all levels of primary schools, for children between 6 and 12 years old.

	Awareness raising among pregnant women on COVID 19 - Burkina Faso, Bangladesh, El Salvador, Haiti From April to November, in response to the global pandemic, we provided information on COVID-19 and health to pregnant women, young mothers and newborns in local languages (Mooré, French, Bengali, Creole...): the messages were broadcasted by local radios, posters, leaflets, videos and town criers.
	Celebration of children's rights on 20 November - Switzerland To commemorate the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the UN General Assembly on November 20th, Enfants du Monde organizes each year an event for children and the general public at Place des Nations in Geneva.
