Saving 500+ Lives During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, KYF began its journey by helping save nearly 500 lives through timely support and community action. When medical facilities faced shortages, our young volunteers stepped forward to coordinate blood, oxygen, plasma, medicine access, and food distribution across the region.
