CORONAVIRUS RELIEF
Hong Kong is currently facing the fifth wave of the epidemic. Since Omicron is more contagious than other virus strains, the number of infected people has climbed to over 1,000 per day in a short period of time, and the pandemic has spread rapidly. It continues to spread globally, children – especially the most deprived and marginalized – are facing increasing health, education and safety risks. Thank you for your support, to give parents guidance and tools to reassure and support their children during this difficult time.

In Hong Kong and around the world, the most deprived and marginalised children bear the brunt of the socio-economic impact of COVID-19. Listening to the needs of children in Hong Kong, Save the Children CEO calls on governments, health care providers, educators, charity and community organisations to protect every child.
