Each of our international partners are working tirelessly to protect their communities in the face of COVID-19. They are in lockdown and working with the additional challenges of limited healthcare and internet to support vulnerable people, many of whom rely on day-labour wages for survival.
Now more than ever, they need our prayers and support.

COVID-19 couldn’t have come at a worse time for South Sudan.
With a fragile government finally coming together after a seven-year civil war that killed nearly 400,000 people and decimated the country’s infrastructure, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity, disrupted the economy and further entrenched poverty across the country.
Hundreds of people were killed and women and children captured during recent outbreaks of intercommunal conflict, which is being fueled by a local leadership vacuum and ongoing resource disputes (read more). COVID-19 is expected to further antagonise intercommunal relations.
Our partner the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan (PCOSS) is providing vulnerable communities with awareness about COVID-19, food and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) items and delivering psychosocial support. They are also continuing their critical peacebuilding activities. Your donation will allow us to support them throughout this crisis and beyond. Please give generously.
Thank you.
Note: As the existing project is supporting church leadership and peacebuilding, donations to support the COVID-19 response are not tax deductible.

You can help save lives before disasters strike
Your donation will help communities build resilience to disasters; building better homes, preparing shelters and evacuation plans and increasing our partners’ capacity to provide emergency support and pastoral care.
Every dollar donated before disaster strikes doesn’t just save countless lives – it saves significant amounts of money.
Every $1 invested into disaster preparation can save as much as $15 in the aftermath of a tragedy (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, 2018).
