COVID-19 Action

The indirect effects of famine stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant collatoral damage. As parents lose their jobs, families of Enfants du Mékong's students find themselves deprived of any income and unable to obtain the means to feed themselves properly. 

Once local representatives brought this problem to the attention of Enfants du Mékong, the organization was able to organize food distribution for their students' families and neighbors. Emergency funds from the Artelia Foundation and other partner associations enabled Enfants du Mékong to purchase and distribute provisions to families in Thailand, Vietnam, Burma and Cambodia.
