Emergency Appeal: COVID-19 In India and Globally

Summary

Well over a year and we are all still fighting COVID-19. In developed countries like the UK and USA the press is flooded with the number of residence vaccinated but for places such as India, Africa and poorer communities the end is far from insight. In Kerala where we work 1.5 million cases of COVID have been confirmed and numbers are climbing. India is seeing 350,000 new cases each day. Governments are failing and communities have access to no oxygen and people are dying. Help is needed NOW

Challenge

Our struggles with the virus are far from over, as we begin the new year many countries are becoming crippled by the second or third wave. Whilst a vaccine is coming to the market poorer communities are facing huge crisis and won't see vaccines for many more months, if at all this year. India is hot topic right now with hospitals oxygen minutes from running out and patients left outside hospitals as there is no space indoors. This pandemic is far from over and India is not the only country

Solution

Our team is working remotely and are available around the clock to ensure all our projects are doing everything we can to support the local communities. Working with each community we will assess and provide them with critical resources to tackle the virus and put in measures for the community to survive long term. A gift to this project will directly fund the emergency resources initially but we will be by their side long term and help with rebuilding once we get through the 2nd/3rd waves

Long-Term Impact

We know that this is not a quick fix as the virus has been destroying lives for a year! This unforeseen pandemic has affected lives all over the world and our goal with this project is to provide relief to communities in need as well as the critical supplies required to fight the virus. Currently using all reserves to survive the lockdown our project aim is to ensure that we support all projects to be able to resume and continue their work into the future.
