Welthungerhilfe COVID-19 Relief Fund
Support our efforts to provide relief where it is needed most
The COVID-19 Relief Fund is used exclusively to support Welthungerhilfe’s current partners. We do not accept unsolicited applications.
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting us all. However, its greatest impact is on those already suffering from poverty and hunger. The pandemic has placed great strain on often already inadequate health systems in the Global South, while the economic effects of restrictions are exacerbating poverty and hunger levels in these countries.
Welthungerhilfe created a COVID-19 Relief Fund to finance our relief activities for those communities most vulnerable during the coronavirus crisis. Your donations ensure our staff and partner organisations can continue to help combat COVID-19 as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The COVID-19 Relief Fund: a tool for global solidarity
Welthungerhilfe is using the COVID-19 Relief Fund to provide support where it is needed most during the coronavirus crisis. The initial €500,000 endowment enabled Welthungerhilfe to rapidly implement relief measures following the outbreak of the virus in the 36 countries we work in. These activities have expanded their focus to the indirect economic impacts of COVID-19. We need your donations to the COVID-19 Relief Fund to continue this work.
Harness the power of the many – show your solidarity by joining the community combatting COVID-19. Our commitment to transparency means you will be kept informed about how the funds are used and the success of our work.
