COVID-19: How to Help
Around the world, the impacts of COVID-19 are just beginning. In addition to the health risks, COVID-19 threatens to push half a billion people into poverty, as families feel the economic toll from reduced work and increasing prices on everyday items. You can help ramp up our efforts to both slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep up our work against poverty.
The truth is, the only way any emergency response is possible - during this pandemic, or anywhere Oxfam works - is with the consistent support of the Oxfam community. This support allows us to rapidly mobilize and continue to help communities build their own disaster response capabilities, all while continuing our poverty-fighting work around the world.

Washing hands isn't easy
Not everyone has access to water and soap, making the fight against COVID-19 even harder. In the Philippines, an Oxfam partner is helping poor communities tackle hand hygiene by installing easily accessible hand-washing stations that include free soap.
