Story

Our Coronavirus Appeal is funding work in eight countries - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, DR Congo, India, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen. This includes six of the worlds most fragile states, the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, and India, which was hit by the worst outbreak of Covid-19 yet seen during the pandemic in April and May 2021.

Millions of people living in fragile states have little access to medical care or clean water, making them much more vulnerable to new, more contagious variants of coronavirus.

We need your help to:

Support fragile health systems with PPE, equipment, and isolation and medical care facilities

Help give vulnerable families the means to protect themselves with water, soap, handwashing stations and information

Ensure that the Covid-19 crisis doesnt mean people go hungry and children become malnourished.

Your donation of:

£20 could provide a medical kit to a vulnerable person

£50 could provide essential hygiene kits to two families

£100could provide PPE for 10 frontline health workers
