We have reached our initial Coronavirus Crisis Appeal target of £200,000!
Thank you so much for your overwhelming support during this time and for making this possible. We have been taken aback by the generosity you have shown during this urgent time in spite of the lockdown and the challenges at home.
To give you a little idea of what we have already been able to achieve with your donation:
So far...
46,000 beneficiaries have been supported with
9,300 families reached
4,375 women and girls have been protected from violence and abuse
12,525 emergency food packages
and 3,000 health kits have been distributed.
Emergency funds have been made to
18 partner organisations
in 5 states of India
and 3 districts in Nepal
This support has been vital to the communities we serve and it has meant people have been able to be fed and supported during the world's largest lockdown that left thousands struggling for food, work, and security.
Although the lockdown in India is now easing, India has one of the fastest-growing rates of infection in the World. Experts are predicting that it will peak in late July, with possibly as many as 500,000 cases in Delhi alone.
We are continually reviewing the situation and communicating with our partners on the ground to find out where your donations will have the biggest effect but, for now, we are still in the emergency phase and will be for some weeks.
It's not too late for anyone you know to get involved via the link below - so, please, forward this on wherever you can and please keep helping us get support to those who need it most.
I will continue to update you as the situation progresses about the impact your donation is having. We will be entering the second phase of response to this crisis and we hope you will join us in this. Thank you again for your generosity and for helping those in dire need.
Kind regards,
Ciaran Maguire
