Now, as the impact of conflict in Ukraine, COVID-19 and rising global costs combine with the effects of climate change, regional conflict and local challenges, many communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America are facing a dire situation. Health Poverty Action and Find Your Feet, our sister organisation, are launching our Livelihoods Appeal, focusing on our work with communities to safeguard people's livelihoods and health at this critical time. Together with our partners worldwide we’re addressing the immediate issues that matter to people – from developing sustainable sources of income, food and water to providing healthcare in remote and isolated communities. We’re also continuing to build global alliances, so we can challenge the global inequalities that push people into poverty and poor health – from exploitative global trade arrangements to discrimination against women. Your contributions help us continue working with our partners worldwide as, together, we seek global solutions to global problems. Please give to our Livelihoods Appeal and stand with people across the world as they build more prosperous, healthier communities for all. • £15 could help to provide eight undernourished children with the emergency food needed to improve their health • £68 could pay for a training session on management and maintenance of water points • £188 could pay a month’s salary for a social worker who ensures the most vulnerable and marginalised community members get the support they need Yours sincerely, Siaffa Bunduka |
