Education:
Even with interruptions in schooling due to Covid-19 lockdowns, we were able to make progress through our primary and trade schools: 

• 13 Primary schools started
• 7 Trade schools started
• 700+ Students enrolled in schools
• 22 Teachers employed

Covid-19:
During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we have been able to partner with our sewing students, teachers, and other professionals to bring aid to families in crisis:

• 5,000+ Masks made and delivered to families in brickyards
• 3,000 People received 3-6 months worth of food through 3 large food drops
• 1 Mobile medical site was organized and sent to one of the villages we work in to provide masks and testing for symptoms of covid-19

 
Anna’s House:
With your help, we were able to get Anna's House—our first restoration home—up and running:​

• 4 Families moved into Anna's House
• 300 People were freed from brickyards and/or given legal aid

In the midst of Covid-19, we have seen some amazing acts of courage and comradery that are giving us hope.
All People Free has made temporary shifts in focus to be able to respond to the immediate needs of the families we normally support through education, skills training, and small business loans. Our team has quickly risen to the occasion, putting every effort into caring for those most vulnerable during this time. Here’s some things we’ve been able to do:

• Our sewing students have made over 3000 masks to be distributed to families to help them stay healthy through the spread of the virus. 
• Our teachers and partners began making sanitizer to be distributed to those in the brickyards who can’t access or afford these basic sanitation supplies. 
• Our team organized mobile testing for Covid-19 symptoms and simultaneously distributed masks in one village, and we hope to see that duplicated in more villages soon. 
• With your help, we’ve delivered food to 20 families and we hope to quickly increase that number to 400 in the coming days. 
• Through all of these efforts, we’ve been able to continue providing support and work to our partners and teachers and we are so honored to work alongside them during these times.
