COVID-19 Emergency Action Fund

In this time of uncertainty, there's a fundamental truth that gives us hope - that together we can do extraordinary things. I am very grateful for your continued support of Global Emergency Care. As one of our most valued partners, I am writing you today with this request for your help. 

2020 has been a uniquely challenging year for all of us. The COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent quarantine of communities both in the U.S. and Uganda have caused many challenges that have harmed GEC’s bottom line. Grant funders have retracted and there are fewer opportunities. Donors have tightened their belts and donations have drastically reduced.

To combat these challenges and build resilience for 2021, we are:

1. Hosting our Annual Year End Fundraiser virtually from Dec 1-31, 2020
2. Our goal for all of December is to raise $40,000 - enough to save 350 children's lives
3. Your contribution will provide masks, PPE, and supplies for our ECPs working on the front lines of the pandemic response in Uganda; train additional front line emergency health workers; and save children's lives

Now, more than ever, your support of Global Emergency Care is critical. Our Emergency Care Practitioners (ECPs) are some of the only specialist emergency care providers in Uganda and are the most equipped to deal with the COVID-19 crisis there. They are on the front lines of this pandemic as it spreads across Uganda.
