2020 Annual Report

Special message about 2020

2020 was an unprecedented year for billions of people. The COVID-19 pandemic brought huge challenges and changes for many people and communities globally.

COVID-19 is a global pandemic like never seen before, impacting every country in the world, and threatening the livelihoods of billions. With populations already vulnerable to food insecurity, shortage of suitable housing and health issues, underdeveloped countries bear the brunt of these impacts.

At ADPP, getting through the pandemic was a key focus for us in 2020. In a country where over 90% of the population’s income comes from the informal sector, and where most households are over crowded with no access to water and energy, 2020 was the year where our efforts had to be intensified.

Our assistance to many vulnerable communities, including numerous people close to us such as staff and students, reached almost 6 million people.

When we say we don’t leave anyone behind, we mean it.

As the world seemed to have stopped, we knew our message had to be stronger, bolder and persistent. As the world stayed at home, we continued to deliver vital services for the most vulnerable. We maintained access to healthcare through HIV tests, TB screening and treatments, created access to water and soap for hand washing, provided masks for prevention, re-built livelihoods after cyclones, and taught thousands of children and youths through online teaching.

For ADPP, 2020 made us stronger and more united while allowing us to restate our vision.

We also found reason for hope. New partnerships have been celebrated. New colleagues have arrived. New projects and initiatives in education, health and agriculture were started.

We are deeply thankful to all those who have helped us continue to provide support to the most vulnerable and maintain our daily work with communities to improve lives and livelihoods.
