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. 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. 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... Your donation to this fund will help build stronger response capacities in communities in India so that we are all better equipped to face future outbreaks. Indian Women and Child Welfare Trust will send you regular email updates about how your donation has been put to use.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, students switched to online education. Unfortunately, not all children and not all teachers have access to a computer or tablet. #DajżeKompa (English: Give a computer) is an initiative meant to fight the digital exclusion in Poland. https://www.dajzekompa.pl/#/ Thanks to this initiative, people can donate unnecessary computer equipment, which is professionally serviced, disinfected and donated to children or teachers in need. The donated equipment comes often without hard drive or RAM , so we are launching this fundraising to gather funds to buy these necessary parts. Hard drive & RAM for one computer cost around 800 PLN (200 USD)., so the goal of this fundraising - 2000 USD - its to help equip & adjust for use 10 laptops! Big or small, every donation you make helps transform people's lives! Thank you for your supprt!

Employee powered Cyclone Amphan Relief 2020 Amphan cyclone has made landfall on May 20th completely decimating enormous areas across coastal West Bengal and Orissa. Millions of people who have already been affected badly by #COVID19 pandemic and lockdown, have now lost their homes too. Our partners on the ground are working with the local administration to help people shelter in schools and flood centers. Cyclone Amphan’s landfall coincided with high tide resulting in breaching of embankments and widespread flooding. The local people, many of whom are subsistence farmers and fisherfolk, are also facing tremendous damage to what’s left of agriculture and their livelihoods. We are currently working on mitigating the immediate food and water shortage in the area. AID started working intensively with farmers in the region in 2009 after Cyclone Aila devastated Sunderbans exactly 11 years ago. What started as a small group of 20 farmers choosing to rebuild organic and sustainable farming by reviving farmlands from salinity, has grown to a movement of 25000 farmers in the past decade, with outlets established to directly sell produce to consumers in Kolkata. But, history repeats with itself with the severe cyclone Amphan breaching embankments and inundating farmlands with saline water from the sea. We expect similar to more deeper engagement in many fronts as post-Aila with these resilient communities to help rebuild literally from the ground up. We need your generous support now to stand by the people of Sunderbans & adjacent regions, while they are facing this enormous devastation amidst a pandemic and to help sustain the relief & rebuilding efforts.

CHALLANGE: The COVID-19 or Coronavirus crisis has made a tremendous cross-sectoral impact across most of the countries around the world. The entire social, economic, and cultural structure is gradually transforming into an unexpected reality. Poor communities in Sierra Leone have become more vulnerable to the basic issues of livelihood, hunger, housing, and shelter. There are currently over 500 confirmed cases with 33 deaths in the country and the numbers keep rising in an alarming fashion. SOLUTION: Even though we will not be involved in clinically addressing the Coronavirus problem, Advocacy Initiative for Development (AID) Sierra Leone will embark on the following across the country to help stop the spread of COVID-19: 1. Increase community awareness on the prevention and spread of the COVID-19 diseases; 2. Reduce panicking and disinformation caused by the spread of COVID-19 disease and 3. Ensuring the supply of basic resources such as masks, food and shelter to the poorest and the needy LONG-TERM IMPACT: The results and the indicators we expect from the above intervention: - A large number of people will adopt sound sanitation, social distancing, and other safety precautions against the COVID-19 pandemic. - There will be a limited spread of disinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. - A large number of homeless and poor people will have access to food and shelter.

Join in supporting Black@VMware’s #LivingHeritage campaign This fund was created to raise awareness and support for Black communities across the United States. Institutionalized and systemic racism means that Black people do not have the same opportunities as others and have longer “distance travelled” to get to the same places. We see this every day in lack of representation in universities and companies, to the senseless murders of Black people, in the streets, and in their own homes, and more recently how Black communities have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. In corporate settings, when it comes to the issues impacting Black communities, there is often no action and there continues to be silence. That silence is deafening, and it hurts. It hurts to not be acknowledged. It hurts to not receive the same level of support as your colleagues. It hurts to feel unsupported, unheard, and unseen. This campaign is one avenue for community and allies to acknowledge trauma, show solidarity, empathy, and show that you stand with us and you hear us. #LivingHeritage If you are not in a position to donate funds, here are other ways you can take action: - https://medium.com/equality-includes-you/what-white-people-can-do-for-racial-justice-f2d18b0e0234 - https://medium.com/awaken-blog/20-allyship-actions-for-asians-to-show-up-for-the-black-community-right-now-464e5689cf3e
