WVI Back in Supports the Government of East Lombok to Fight Against Covid-19
#BersamaMelawanCovid19 - After closing the program in North Lombok Regency, Wahana Visi Indonesia commits to support the government of East Lombok Regency in carrying out the Covid-19 response. Through Lombok Earthquake Emergency Response, WVI focuses on the Covid-19 program, especially in the Sembalun District area.
Aim to reduce the burden on people who have lost their occupation, WVI is working together with the East Lombok Regency government to meet the needs of families during the Covid-19 pandemic.
WVI carried out various interventions such as providing food assistance in cash voucher programming to 1,500 vulnerable families (toddlers, pregnant women, and the elderly), distributing 1,752 hygiene packages given to 12 elementary schools in the Sembalun District area. Besides, WVI also distributed 30 packages of personal protective equipment to health workers at the Sembalun Community Health Center. The CTPS facility packages in the form of water tanks and 15 packages of infrared thermometers are also one of WVI's interventions in East Lombok.
"Alhamdulillah, we are grateful to take this assistance from Wahana Visi Indonesia. In this period we see that the livelihoods of the community are mostly agricultural, and this is very helpful and this assistance is very targeted. In terms of service, WVI provides good service. WVI follows the Covid-19 protocol and is still willing to receive suggestions and complaints from the public. We hope that this program can continue," said Muh.Roli Wahyudi as Secretary of the Sembalun Bumbung Village.
Not only distributing goods, but WVI also provides dissemination on the prevention of Covid-19. Several activities, such as distributing 3,252 stickers related to Covid-19 prevention to the public, have been carried out as a joint effort to fight Covid-19.
