WhatsApp forums, social distancing: Nigerian sisters respond to the coronavirus pandemic


A Nigerian charity home for more than 50 homeless and abandoned children is practicing strict hygienic standards in order to keep their residents safe and healthy during COVID-19. The Daughters of Divine Love is run by nuns, and they all try to educate the children about the coronavirus in a way they can understand. The sisters keep track of the latest news in a WhatsApp forum in order to know what to share with the children, and they keep the children clean with regular handwashing, home disinfection, and clothes washing. They have also stopped accepting victims of trafficking into the shelter.
