Donate to help stop the spread of COVID-19 Coronavirus

COVID-19 Coronavirus has now reached some of the world’s most poverty-stricken and conflict-ravaged communities where healthcare systems are already weak and under-resourced, and supplies have been wiped out by disaster or conflict. The first cases have just been confirmed in Syria and near Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh. These are places where physical distancing is near impossible, and clean water and soap are luxuries. A COVID-19 outbreak in these environments will be catastrophic.

We need to act now by getting people critical soap, clean water and information on how to prevent the spread of the virus before it’s too late.

CARE is doing this urgent work, which could be the difference between life and death for thousands of people, and will be vital in stopping the spread throughout communities who have already endured so much. We have already reached more than 9 million people with hygiene messages, and helped more than 2.6 million people access clean water. We’re also helping people get better information—with more than 5.3 million getting direct training, and 193 million accessing information about COVID-19 through mass media that CARE is supporting.

Your donation to CARE today could help provide hygiene kits, clean water and emergency supplies to the most vulnerable families, and help stop the spread while we still can. You will also be helping to ensure that CARE can continue our lifesaving work in all the countries impacted by COVID-19.
