The Covid-19 pandemic is a disaster for humanity, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people throughout the world, including in Indonesia, where it has had a huge impact on all levels of society, including orphans. The impacts can be direct, resulting in death, or secondary impacts that affect the community's economy. Community activities become limited, the wheels of the economy stagnate, which can reduce people's purchasing power and quality of life. The aim of implementing this KKN is to describe information on the importance of a healthy lifestyle for orphans in Sukaharja Village Rt. 04 RW.02, Ciomas District, Bogor Regency, so that later these orphaned children will be accustomed to clean and healthy living behavior both during the pandemic and during normal situations.

The educational material provided to orphans includes an introduction to COVID-19 and its symptoms, how to wash hands properly and correctly, how to use a mask correctly, how to physically distance, and how to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle.
