Formula E has announced that they are teaming up with UNICEF to support the global fight against COVID-19 by protecting vulnerable children and families most at risk.
The partnership will focus on keeping children around the world healthy and learning in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, with funds being directed to projects such as those contributing to remote learning programmes and the supply of essential protective equipment for hospital staff and care workers on the frontline.
As a global sport with a purpose to counteract climate change by accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles, Formula E is naturally placed to use its platforms to raise awareness of UNICEF's work to protect children against the effects of COVID-19.
The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on children so far has been huge. Already, a staggering 1.5 billion children are missing out on education due to school closures. With major disruptions to the global economy, many families risk losing their livelihoods and falling into poverty. This situation is unlike any the world has ever known. Formula E's donations, fundraising and support in raising awareness of UNICEF's mission aims to change the lives of children across the world for the better.
