Across the world, the coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented challenges Words like lockdown, hand-hygiene and self-isolation have entered our vocabulary. Although the problems faced are the same, the ability of countries to respond effectively are vastly different: Isolation is impossible in overcrowded slum communities, hand-hygiene is meaningless without running water, or if you cant afford soap. And if you survive on income from daily labour, lockdown quickly means starvation. Global Care must act. We are using our Children At Risk fund in this crisis. Here are examples of how the money is spent: In Uganda, a food parcel feeding a family of 8 for a month costs around £40 In Indias Patripul slum, a care package for a family of 4, costs £61. In Bangladesh, a food parcel including soap and face masks cost £24 We have never faced a crisis like this, simultaneously affecting so many of our projects. We want to raise at least £100,000 to see us through 2020.
