Child Support Ministries Africa – COVID-19 Crisis Update
In Uganda, the government declared a total lock-down due to the Corona Virus outbreak in March 2020. All schools, businesses, public transport, and all non-essential public and privates services were suspended and people are asked to stay at their homes. Once all schools were closed, all the children came back to our Child Support Centre in Kampala. This means that we must provide extra hand washing cisterns, soap, sanitizers, masks, and medication, and a daily healthy diet to keep them safe. Some of the children and youth who live with HIV/AIDS are most at risk since they have pre-existing [...]
New Heights Ministry – #GivingTueNow

That is why our means of communication may change depending on the audience or context, but our message of hope through Jesus Christ will always remain the same.

International Care Ministries – #GivingTueNow
COVID-19 Crisis Response So far, the Philippines has about 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and about 500 deaths. These are overwhelmingly in the Manila area since testing in the provinces is limited. At ICM, we are starting to see the provincial health impact of the virus – the father of one of our senior ICM staff was diagnosed with COVID-19 two days ago and he passed away yesterday. But with lockdowns, our staff member was unable to be in her hometown. We grieve for her and for her family. And for many other Filipino families who will soon be balancing [...]
