Up a 33 story building 86 times.
Essentially, we went from sea level to 29,029ft/8,848m.
NOW it's your turn:
- Climb 25 floors
- Donate $25
- Challenge 5 people
WHY? This climb is more than just physical effort. It's about belief. That even when times get tough, we can overcome them.
Together we will beat Covid-19 and TOGETHER we will get to the top of our own Mt. Everest!
Why Center for Disaster Philanthropy?
- 4 Stars on Charity Navigator
- They're doing amazing things to fight Covid-19, help people affected by the virus, and they are supporting people on the front lines.
Their Strategy:
CARE's COVID-19 prevention strategy – building on existing programming and strong local relationships – includes:
- Prepositioning essential supplies like soap, disinfectants, medication and protective wear.
- Providing clean water and promoting safe hygiene and sanitation – including access to water supplies, storage containers, handwashing stations, etc.
- Educating and empowering caregivers and frontline health workers – most of them women.
- Communicating accurate information to counter misinformation and rumors.
- Providing food and other necessities – particularly in the event of supply chain breakdown
CARE’s focus on women and girls during the COVID-19 pandemic is vitally important. Experience tells us that during health crises like the spread of the coronavirus:
- Women are more likely to be infected, given their roles as caregivers and frontline healthcare workers (70% of whom are women).
- Women are less likely than men to have decision-making power, leaving their needs unmet.
- Sexual and reproductive health resources are diverted, contributing to higher maternal mortality rates.
From Belik and I, we thank you!
We will get through this together!
