In view of the health situation linked to the Covid-19 epidemic, the living conditions of street children, who are more isolated than ever before, are deteriorating to an unprecedented degree. Village Pilote is adapting its response to continue to protect them and proposes an emergency response in the streets at night despite the curfew set up between 6pm and 6am. Village Pilote has organized the collection and distribution of meals: mobilization of volunteers to help prepare meals; organization of collections in partner supermarkets.

The objective was to provide 300 meals a day for thirty consecutive days while waiting to organize emergency accommodation for 300 street children. 

Faced with the consequences of Covid-19 and the increase in the number of beneficiaries, Village Pilote must adapt to respond to emergency situations but also to make the care of street children sustainable. New training programs in agro-ecology, micro-farming and food processing are being set up to improve the quality of the professional training and move towards food self-sufficiency in the Lac Rose center. The new professional training programs benefit the 150 young people welcomed in the Village Pilote Center.
