In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, even basic protective supplies like masks and hand sanitizer were very hard to come by. Refugee families, who often face extra barriers to accessing information, were in an especially vulnerable position. To address this together, MAP joined hands with both partner organizations and delivered protective supplies directly to families.

What Was in Each Package
Every family received a COVID-19 protective supply package made up of three items.
Hand soap and masks: Essential hygiene items to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Non-contact infrared thermometer: Measures body temperature without touching the skin, so you can safely check your family’s health.
Parenting guide for migrant families: A resource for parents raising children with a migration background, covering everyday life in Korea and childcare information.
Looking Ahead
Even in difficult times like the COVID-19 pandemic, MAP plans to keep providing the support that refugee families need, so that no family has to face these challenges alone. Our families have shown real courage getting through this period, and MAP will be there with them every step of the way.
