As the world rolls out Covid-19 vaccines, our life saving work continues.
Nobody is safe until everyone is
Infections are soaring for millions of the world’s poorest people – with no proper vaccination programmes in sight. A new wave of Covid-19 can be devastating for people living in crowded conditions where they can’t socially distance. The spread is unpredictable, and we urgently need your help to make sure we’re ready to scale up our response for the next country that needs it.
We are supporting people to
-
Prepare for tomorrow by staying clean and healthy
We are working to stop the spread of Covid-19 by providing soap and hygiene facilities, training public health promoters and distributing vital medical equipment so that people can stay clean and safe.
-
Survive today by getting safe clean water running
We’re working to help people who are suffering the most from the pandemic, by distributing the emergency essentials they desperately need for their families.
-
Adapt for the future by supporting those who have lost incomes
We are supporting businesses by covering employee wages until they can get up and running again. We’ve also provided support for school children so they don’t miss out on their education.
