Disasters Emergency Committee Global Coronavirus Appeal
Fundraising for Christian Aid
Story
You've given generously before but we are asking again. As lockdown measures slowly lift here in the UK, elsewhere refugees and families who have fled violence and hunger in countries suffering conflict need our help. Help them protect themselves from coronavirus. Please consider giving more to the Disasters Emergency Committee's Global Appeal. Christian Aid and 13 other DEC member charities have launched an Appeal, as shown on the BBC, on https://youtu.be/gABVZh375U0.
Imagine having to leave everything behind to keep your family safe, only to face a new, silent threat: Covid-19. This is the reality for people living in tents and makeshift shelters without running water in places like Yemen, Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, DR Congo, Afghanistan and the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh.
There are not enough hospital beds or supplies to treat those who fall ill. But, as we have seen in the UK, simple measures can make a huge difference. If we act now to protect millions of vulnerable people, many lives can be saved.
Together, we need your help to:
- provide families with clean water, soap and information on keeping themselves safe;
- provide frontline medical and aid workers with equipment and supplies to care for the vulnerable and sick; and
- ensure families get enough food to prevent malnutrition, particularly amongst children.
Help families who have lost everything as they face a deadly new threat. Help us by donating now.
The UK Government will match the first £5 million donated pound-for-pound, meaning your support will go even further.
