Since the beginning of the health crisis, International Solidarity NGOs have been forced to reorganise themselves in order to best respond to the needs of the populations they support. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing thousands of victims at the health level, but not only. Among the consequences of the pandemic, the closure of schools deprives more than 1.5 billion children of education. In Southeast Asia, Aide et Action is adapting its intervention by launching a two-pronged program: immediate hygiene education through audio and printed messages and distance learning through digital technologies.
