Coronavirus is spreading among the world’s poorest communities.

Nations in lockdown, widespread uncertainty, hospitals struggling to cope – we’ve seen with our own eyes how devastating coronavirus can be. Our own nation is suffering a crisis unlike anything any of us have seen before.

But for the most vulnerable  ⏤ those living in extreme poverty, people without access to running water, and people living in cramped refugee camps ⏤ the impact could be far worse.

Since the start of the pandemic, Tearfund has been on the front lines, providing crucial hygiene and sanitation assistance as well as health training and emergency food supplies. Together, we've reached people in eight countries with this life-saving support: Central America, Malawi, Lebanon, South Sudan, Bangladesh, Rwanda, and Kenya.
