KALIMANTAN BERANI Campaign (COVID-19 Response)

It’s normal to be afraid, but we can also choose to be brave -- we have to, we need to, we must be brave. Throughout March to May 2020, Youth Act launched a campaign called Kalimantan Berani, or Brave Kalimantan, as a response to COVID-19. We created informative flyers in local languages, produced social media advocacy to raise awareness about health protocol, supplied masks to health workers, and provided meal packages to families affected by the pandemic. 

In three months, we raised 5,900,000 IDR to set-up 12 hand-washing locations, printed 624 flyers that were translated in eleven languages, and provided 339 meal packages for people in need. We also sent thousands of masks (surgical, fabric, and N-95) to frontline health workers in eighteen towns and villages in four provinces in Kalimantan.
