Providing health insurance for needy families is our priority as we face the aftermath of COVID-19

As the world suffers the consequences of the novel coronavirus, impoverished communities such as Musha are the most at-risk with food and health services at the top of the long list of needs. 

In addition to providing food supplies from our community farm to starving families, REAP’s Community Learning Center and Library has been selected by the local government to serve as a meeting space for community savings groups that primarily aim to collect health insurance for families.

Every Thursday and Friday, our Community organizer leads groups of around 50 people for two hours to address issues in households such as health, nutrition and hygiene. Thanks to the savings groups, this year, 178 families were able to provide yearlong health insurance, beddings and kitchen utensils for their families.
