We recently compiled high-level impact numbers to demonstrate the work PWW teams in both Haiti & Honduras have continued to provide in spite of the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has created for communities across the globe.
Following is a snapshot of March through October, 2020, with impactful work continuing:
464 families (>2,300 people) participated in carbon credit monitoring evaluations. During these evaluations, all families were trained on COVID-19 prevention practices, including proper handwashing.- 838 people received in-person training on COVID-19 and Dengue Fever prevention.
