President Trump has announced that he will seek to withhold funding to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Holding back funding from the WHO damages hopes for the international cooperation and solidarity that is critical to save lives in this crisis and restore the global economy. The WHO supports governments by providing essential resources, such as testing kits and training for health workers.
As Oxfam continues scaling up our response to the crisis in more than 50 countries around the world, we've seen firsthand that strong coordination and funding is vital to save lives. In some countries in crisis, the WHO is the primary group that can assess the needs and provide these supplies. Withholding funding to WHO will put countless lives at risk.
This global health crisis is hitting when the global aid community has already been overwhelmed, and we're all working together to save lives. Now is not the time to leave the most vulnerable behind. If you're looking for ways to help, please consider starting a monthly contribution. COVID-19 is likely to deeply affect the communities we serve all over the world; having the resources to respond means we can help more people in the weeks and months ahead.
If you're in a position to contribute, please - start a monthly donation today. Anything you can afford right now will make a difference. And right now, your gift will be maximized by a donor who is contributing an additional $100 for every new monthly donation >>

None of us are safe unless all of us are safe - we must work together now, in our communities and across borders, with dignity and compassion. Thank you for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Abby Maxman
President
Oxfam America
