I do not know who they play with at school and I cannot stop them from going because their future is at stake without education. I don’t want this coronavirus to separate me from my children.” World Vision has constructed latrines in six nutrition centers and installed 10,000-liter water tanks for drinking and handwashing in 11 nutrition centers in Juba. Malnutrition cases dropped as mothers gained more knowledge on the value of handwashing, proper nutrition, and exclusive breastfeeding, among others. World Vision has recently added awareness and prevention tips to avoid COVID-19.
