Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic marks an unprecedented time in modern history that will require the best of humanity to overcome. The new coronavirus has taken thousands of lives and spread to nearly every country in the world. Your donation to this fund will support immediate and long-term relief and recovery in vulnerable communities during one of the most challenging times we have collectively faced.

Challenge

This crisis threatens everyone's way of life, but it is especially difficult for people who are already vulnerable, including those with pre-existing medical conditions, older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, refugees and migrants, wage workers, and those with inflexible jobs.

India experienced an escalation of attacks on its Christian minority in past years, usually led by Hindu nationalists acting largely with impunity. Just around 5%  of the country’s population is Christian, and nearly 80% of Indians are Hindu.

There was also an increase in Christian persecution across the region “driven by extreme religious nationalism, which is often tacitly condoned – and sometimes actively encouraged – by local and national governments”.

There is a clear pattern of rising religious intolerance across the Indian sub-continent, which affects many millions of Christians.

In several parts of Indian, Christians are often from the lower castes, such as the Dalits in India who face huge socio economic problems and years of oppression on them on the basis of their birth and the caste that they were born into.

Solution

Your donation to this fund will help stop the virus's spread and give communities on the front lines of the crisis the resources they need to act quickly and protect the most vulnerable. Donations are already helping to:

• Send doctors, nurses, and other front line responders to communities in need
• Get masks, ventilators, and other lifesaving medical supplies to hospitals and clinics
• Deliver essential items to struggling families and older individuals in quarantined cities and refugee camps
• Feed children that rely on school meals as their only source of nutrition
• Support hygiene awareness efforts
• And much, much more...

As the situation evolves, the fund will transition to support longer-term recovery and education efforts run by local, vetted organizations in affected regions. We will work with our partners on the ground to allocate funds where they're most needed.

Long-Term Impact

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are best positioned to lead long-term plans to stop COVID-19. Your donation to this fund will help build stronger response capacities in communities around the world so that we are all better equipped to face future outbreaks. We will send you regular email updates about how your donation has been put to use.
