Profiles of service during COVID-19

From full hospitals to empty schools, the negative impacts of COVID-19 are stark. But there are also countless examples of individuals meeting these challenges and helping their communities through the crisis. The 10 leaders profiled in the following pages were nominated by Creative staff around the world for the unique ways they use their voices, skills and time in service of their neighbors, both in collaboration with Creative programs and independently.

Their stories provide examples of courage, commitment and perseverance in the face of a pandemic. The consequences of COVID-19 will continue to be felt for years to come and will reshape development challenges in health, education, economic growth, stabilization and more. As Creative works to support communities’ long-term recovery from the pandemic, we know we will be able to count on dedicated individuals like these.
