Friend – as the COVID-19 emergency continues, communities around the world are facing dire circumstances, unable to practice social distancing and lacking access to adequate clean water, nutrition, and healthcare.

Right now, Oxfam is coordinating our response. We’re joining with partner organizations, government health ministries, and key UN agencies around the world to deliver soap, clean water, and other sanitation services to refugees and people living in higher-risk environments.

We can’t do it without you. We need your support to make sure that we can get key aid to those who need it most. That’s why when you make a gift today, it will be MATCHED, making double the difference.
