Pursuing social connections to leave no one behind: The perspective of a faith-based organization in a time of social distancing

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused social, economic, and health crises, and in particular, has severely affected people in vulnerable situations. To leave no one behind in the response to and recovery from the pandemic, faith actors and faith-based organizations (FBOs) have connected with individuals at the grassroots level.

In this presentation, Soka Gakkai International will showcase relevant experiences in Japan and share the findings of a joint research project together with other FBOs, in the hope of advancing global DRR efforts.
