Within the framework of the precautionary measures to limit the spread COVID-19, and as part of the preventive measures taken by the Syrian Society for Social Development, the team carried out a sterilization and disinfection campaign for the Khaled Bin Al-Walid Institute for juvenile delinquents in Rural Damascus on a daily basis.

The latter was carried out in cooperation with the administration of the Khaled Bin Al-Walid Institute within the Child Protection programme.

The aim of the campaign was to protect the health and safety of adolescents in the institute, while emphasizing the need to adhere to safety guidelines in order to protect themselves and others from danger.

In the context of precautionary measures to prevent the emergence of COVID-19, the team of the Syrian Society for Social Development in Harasta distributed educational messages and hygiene kits to children from the local community. The hygiene kit included soap, medical gloves, hand sanitizers and hand-made disinfectants by the volunteers.

Furthermore, we stressed on the importance of social distancing, periodic hand-washing, and disseminating this information to the rest of their peers. Also, the team of volunteers sterilized and cleaned the center.

One of the children said: “We will all face COVID-19 together! We should all stay at home in order to protect ourselves and the ones we love.”
