Parents have a unique ability to make something magical out of something simple—a pillow case made into a great Halloween costume, or some healthy veggies baked into delicious chocolate brownies…. It makes sense, then, that the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund’s “All Mothers and Children Count” COVID-19 Extension program currently has a 6-to-1 matching fund with the Government of Canada! For every dollar donated, seven dollars will support our PWRDF partners in Rwanda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Burundi as they work to ensure physical distancing, access to clean water, soap and disinfectant, acquisition of personal protective equipment (PPE) and dissemination of reliable health information. A 12-month extension of the All Mothers and Children Count is making it possible for these PWRDF partners coping with COVID-19 to maintain the important gains in food security and maternal, newborn and child health that have been made during a successful four-year program that ended on Mar. 31, 2020.
