This has been an especially challenging year, with COVID-19 impacting all of us. For refugee and displaced families, the future is particularly uncertain. Families living in crowded refugee camps find social distancing impossible. In countries already ravaged by years of war, their weakened health systems lack doctors, ventilators, medicine, and testing capabilities. Your gift will help us provide communities with vital assistance, including clean water, lifesaving food, and face masks.
Refugees and displaced families remain especially vulnerable to the threats of the pandemic. More than ever, they are wondering how they're going to send their children to school, feed their families, and stay healthy. With the winter season approaching, many refugees in places like Syria are also wondering how they will stay safe and warm in a freezing refugee camp, with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
This winter, help us protect refugees and displaced people from COVID-19 and its fall out. Your gift will help us provide communities with vital assistance - including clean water, preventative supplies, like masks and soap, lifesaving medical care and mental health support. In places like Syria and Yemen, you can help families get through the most difficult time of their lives.
The project will provide lifesaving support to thousands of men, women, and children around the world affected by crisis. In addition to critical emergency care, your gift will help us to support communities become financially independent, empowered to make important decisions, and advocates as well as beneficiaries of gender equality.
