Protect Vulnerable Children
Coronavirus knows no borders.
It is a global threat and demands a global response. The virus is already having devastating consequences for children.
With the pandemic now spreading into some of the world’s poorest countries, there is a real danger that progress made on improving children’s lives will see a reversal, especially for girls and children affected by conflict.
We must act now to help protect these vulnerable children.
What We're Doing
SCAN and its supporters are advocating Congress to provide robust funding for the COVID-19 international response.
We are pushing for the funding to include significant resources for emergency global health activities, humanitarian assistance, and flexible resources to respond to address immediate, large-scale emergencies.
