On August 24, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funded an information campaign across Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique about how to protect children from abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Grenada Child Protection Authority (CPA) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) will carry out the campaign, which includes sharing posters, videos, animations, and dramas on radio and social media. Representatives of USAID, CPA, UNICEF, and U.S. Embassy Grenada met virtually on Wednesday, August 19th, 2020 to commemorate the campaign launch.
“I would like to extend a profound thanks and gratitude to UNICEF and USAID for their contribution to children in care during this difficult period by providing much needed hygiene and sanitation products”, said Director of the Grenada Child Protection Authority Mrs. Yvonne Da Breo. “Through this contribution, five childcare residential homes and over 65 families and 300 children have benefited from this much needed contribution.”
