You can’t see how dedicated Liz was to learning how to teach Kidpower – and you can only imagine how hard it was for her to get training since she lives in Cuba.
You can’t see how committed Gisella was to train Liz – from Argentina. You can’t see the hours they spent practicing together – on WhatsApp, the only reliable digital pathway connecting the two.
Watch now to see confident Lebanese educators – who work in refugee camps – practice safety skills together with Zeina of Kidpower Lebanon, refusing to let the hardships of a national economic collapse or a global pandemic stop them from learning how to keep kids safe.
As we look ahead to a new year and the new challenges it will bring, your donation will help Kidpower continue to provide life-saving training and resources.
Please donate today! All gifts through December 31 will be doubled by our Leadership Circle.
