COVID-19 EMERGENCY RESPONSE: IMMEDIATE PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION NEEDED

As the coronavirus pandemic accelerates within the poorest countries, billions of people do not have access to clean water, and millions more do not have adequate healthcare and live in crowded slums or refugee camps where social isolation is impossible.

While our families and communities struggle to endure the impacts of COVID-19, there is still an opportunity to stop this virus from devastating the most vulnerable among us.

Oxfam already works in high-risk communities to promote accurate information about the disease, encourage handwashing, and provide hygiene items families need, such as soap and clean containers to store water. With limitations on travel, we're also taking steps to protect Oxfam's dedicated local staff and partners and the communities we serve so that we can continue the response as the pandemic progresses.

The question we keep hearing: What's the best way I can help in emergencies like this?

The truth is, the only way any emergency response is possible - in refugee camps, or anywhere Oxfam works - is with the support of monthly donors. Sustaining support allows us to rapidly mobilize and continue to help communities build their own disaster response capabilities.

Please: start a monthly donation today. You've been such an incredible part of our work - we're hoping that today, you'll take the next step. And when you start a monthly donation today, a generous donor will contribute an additional $100.
