Dear John,

Health Poverty Action was established in 1984 by doctors, nurses, and development workers to support marginalised communities, particularly those affected by conflict. The very first communities we worked with in Afghanistan were struggling to safeguard people’s health and livelihoods during the Soviet-Afghan War.

Still today, conflict is one of the major causes of poverty and poor health globally and has affected many of the communities we work alongside. That is why we are launching our 'Beyond Conflict' [[link removed]] appeal, exploring the ways we can show solidarity with communities globally as they strive to keep people safe and healthy over the long term.

Please make a regular donation and help communities affected by conflict safeguard and rebuild people's health, lives and livelihoods! [[link removed]]

From Myanmar to Ethiopia to Somaliland, we maintain long-term relationships with communities affected by conflict. This means we can contribute to tackling immediate issues affecting people, such as hunger, displacement and insecurity, and also to developing sustainable livelihoods, social institutions and healthcare systems.

One of our colleagues in Myanmar, Ko San Aung, reflects on the challenges facing people every day: “when we…visited several villages on the frontlines of the conflict, we found the local residents lived merely about 1.5 miles away from the conflict zone. The area has been caught in an ongoing seesaw conflict for nearly half a year.

On the day of our visit, gunfire and artillery blasts from the frontlines were clearly audible throughout the villages. Everywhere we saw houses destroyed by shelling, along with bomb craters of all sizes.”

£10 a month could help to provide 64 undernourished children with the emergency food needed to improve their health each year! [[link removed]]

Whether maintaining clinics in affected communities, contributing to reconstruction efforts, supporting internally displaced persons to establish homes and businesses, or sharing essential supplies with families, we are working alongside communities to support people in some of the most difficult circumstances.

As we become ever more aware globally of the terrible impact of conflict on people’s everyday lives, we’re determined to continue building strong enduring relationships with communities, so we can support people through the worst and advocate for better.

Please make a regular monthly donation and join the Health Poverty Action Community. Whatever you can give will help communities keep people safe and healthy during times of conflict.

£5 a month could pay for agricultural training for one person living in a village affected by conflict each year£20 a month could help to provide 128 undernourished children with the emergency food needed to improve their health each year£45 a month could help a family rebuild one home damaged during armed conflict each year

In solidarity,

Siaffa Bunduka,

Supporter Engagement Manager
