I wanted to make sure you saw this. Below is an update on Oxfam's work helping communities impacted by COVID-19. But our response to the pandemic isn't just about containing the spread of this deadly virus. COVID-19 has changed the global economy, leading to mass unemployment, disruption to food systems, and declining aid. In these conditions, 121 million people are at risk of being pushed to starvation this year.
Oxfam is on the ground, and we're aiming to reach affected communities all over the world and assist them with food supplies, soap and water, and other aid to survive and rebuild stronger after these crises.
Vulnerable communities around the world are suffering the worst effects of COVID-19 and need more help – before it's too late. Please, donate now for families living in poverty worldwide. >>
Thank you for standing up for the most vulnerable.
– Abby Maxman

This is an urgent call for help.
Around the world, families are being pushed to the verge of malnutrition due to the impacts of COVID-19 on their daily lives. If nothing changes, 12,000 people could die from hunger every day by the end of the year – likely more than will die from COVID-19 itself.
Oxfam has already reached 4.5 million people since the start of the pandemic with food and clean water in more than 60 countries. But our work isn't done – we need more support to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and hunger in vulnerable communities.
Donate now for families living in poverty around the world >>
Your gift will have an enormous impact. Thanks to the support of the Oxfam community, we have been helping communities struggling with hunger and poverty across the world, tailoring our response to local conditions...
- ...in Ethiopia, where markets have shut down, we're making sure farming families still have the seeds, tools, and cash they need to make a living.
- ...in Yemen, where more than three quarters of the population relies on humanitarian assistance, we're providing clean water, soap, and cash so families can buy necessities.
- ...in Syria, where constant violence is multiplying the impacts of hunger and the pandemic, we're distributing cash and food for families unable to earn an income.
Your commitment can help support these projects and other programs in place for families and individuals living in poverty worldwide. Give now to stand up for the most vulnerable >>
Thank you for everything you do as part of the Oxfam community.
Sincerely,
Abby Maxman
President
Oxfam America
