Dear John,
Recently, my colleague Sabrina reached out to you with an update on HIAS’ work in Ecuador. With World Refugee Day now just a few days away, I wanted to share with you what we’re doing in Chad for refugees from Darfur, Sudan and the Central African Republic facing incredible hardships from COVID-19.
Right now, overcrowding and lack of sanitation in refugee camps in Chad have put refugee families at heightened risk of contracting COVID-19. As markets reopen in the eastern camps, without protective measures like masks or stations for people to wash their hands, the pandemic is likely to worsen.
That’s why HIAS Chad is doing everything we can to provide refugees with vital assistance during this immensely challenging time. Our work is critical for those who have escaped violence and persecution and now face unprecedented dangers from this global health crisis. So in honor of World Refugee Day, we hope you’ll step up now to support refugees in Chad and around the world:
To meet the urgent needs of refugees in Chad, HIAS is working closely with UNHCR to provide food, hygiene kits and other resources. We are also working to ensure COVID-19 procedures and guidelines are being respected, including hand washing and social distancing, and are providing families with critical information on how they can keep themselves safe from COVID-19.
HIAS is fully committed to supporting those who have fled unimaginable danger in search of peace and safety. And as the need for our work continues to grow during this pandemic, we’d like to ask you one more time to consider making a donation today:
Thanks for all you do to support refugees and asylum seekers.
