COVID-19 Pandemic

Help families affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Papua New Guinea, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia and the Philippines.

The COVID-19 global pandemic is of frightening proportions and it is unfolding at an alarming rate – your response will provide vital support to help vulnerable people living with the triple challenge of poverty, disability and COVID-19.

THE NEED

It is a sad fact that people with disabilities are often left behind in humanitarian crises but with your help cbm New Zealand aims to build resilient communities and provide disability specific essential items to victims of disasters. Help fund inclusive humanitarian responses worldwide through supporting local cbm-funded partners to prepare and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

WHAT YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT CAN HELP FUND

• Hygiene Kits for people with disabilities: masks, hand soap, personal towels, hand sanitiser, laundry detergent and a bucket for hygiene purposes.
• Nutritional Support for hungry children to help keep them healthy so they continue to grow and reach their developmental milestones: boiled eggs, fruit, sweet potatoes and other nutritional foods to help them increase their nutritional needs.
• Help with travel costs for cbm-funded field workers to visit remote villages to raise awareness of hygiene standards, and distribute vital hygiene kits to people with disabilities and their families.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for cbm-funded community field workers and teachers: gloves, masks, soap and sanitisers for six month’s supply.
