We are all going through tough times with the rapid spread of coronavirus. It is the biggest global health crisis we face in our lifetimes, and it knows no borders. Life has been turned upside down for everyone in the struggle to contain the virus. Trusted caregivers are under immense pressure. And children are feeling this too. They may struggle with anxiety, worry because they’re missing school, or fear that they or their families will get sick.

But you can make a difference. You can help a child continue their education, protect and prepare our doctors and health clinics in refugee camps, protect children in unsafe households, and support families who have lost their income.

新型冠狀病毒疫情在全球迅速蔓延，我們正面對有史以來最嚴重的一場疫症危機。為了遏止病毒的傳播，我們在生活上作出重大的改變。 相信很多人為了照顧家庭，都承受著沉重的壓力，當中兒童也不例外。 他們或許會感到焦慮，會因為失去校園生活而感到困擾，也會因為自己或家人有機會受到病毒感染而恐懼。

您可以為兒童帶來改變，讓兒童於疫情期間繼續學習，讓醫護人員在難民營提供適切的醫療服務，使身處危難居所中的兒童得到保護，並讓失去收入的家庭能夠得到及時的援助。

Domestic coronavirus relief efforts
Save the Children Hong Kong has activated relief efforts to combat the coronavirus outbreak. In terms of immediate relief, we have distributed:  

• Over 70,000 masks for children and adults and 5,000 bottles of hand sanitiser to support the most vulnerable and marginalized children and families in Hong Kong.
• 200 sets of laptop computers with connectivity kits to school children ranging from Primary One to Secondary Three classes.
• Educational content to provide child-friendly information such as positive parenting and health tips to children and their caregivers.  

But our support will not end there.
To provide longer-term support, we are working with local partners to develop programmes to improve children’s psychosocial wellbeing during these trying times.
