Hospitals are overwhelmed. Medicine and oxygen supplies are too scarce. Families seeking urgent medical care are met with nothing.
Friend, this is the reality of India’s deadly second coronavirus wave, where there are more than 300,000 new cases confirmed each day. If COVID-19 continues its unchecked and rapid spread throughout the country, variants will develop, health systems will collapse and death tolls will continue to rise. |
Around the world, COVID-19 triggered a swift and cruel setback to the health and education of children. Poverty rates are expected to increase for the first time in 25 years. Food insecurity has put 6.7 million children at risk of severe malnutrition. And over a billion children have been forced out of school.
Friend, we urgently need to redouble our efforts to end the pandemic and restart children’s lives. Your donation today will help fuel this important work, Friend. Please, give now to support our COVID-19 response and protect the futures of children in need.
Thank you,
