Join the fight against Coronavirus by helping us reach more than 100,000,000 people and flatten the curve

By donating to #AppsFightCovid you assist in spreading reliable information in countries where the COVID-19 breakout is at its earlier stage. Changing people’s behaviour is a critical measure to avoid further spreading of the virus. We target developing countries where people can be exposed to unreliable information.

How Do We Spread Reliable Information?

By targeting people through mobile devices. We created ads with an informative video provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) that explains how to prevent infection. We translated these ads from English into Arabic, French, Portuguese and Spanish targeting more than 50 countries in Latin America and Africa. Our technology enables us to immediately reach people right on their mobile phones, regardless of where in the world they are. To learn more about this, check out the “How it works” section.

How Can You Help?

By donating even a small amount of money - you can make a significant change. With only 1$ we can reach 1,000 more people, meaning with 1,000$ we can reach 1 million more people. We owe gratitude to companies and individuals for donating to our initiative. Join the fight today and help us reach millions of people.

The governor justified the inclusion of alcohol as “throat sanitizer”. “I think from the research conducted by the World Health Organization and various organizations, it has been believed that alcohol plays a major role in killing the coronavirus” Sonko said in a video.
