COVID-19 continues to spread and wreak havoc worldwide. The future has never felt so unpredictable. These are challenging times for us all, and we hope you’re in good spirits and health!
Right now, we’re increasing attention where its needed most. Bangladesh government has implemented social distancing laws and forced people in their homes. The people we serve are without necessities to make it through these times.
These hardworking individuals need our help now. If you’re able, please make a donation. You can support them in more than one way.
ARM the Front Liners through COVID-19
These brave individuals are going out every morning to provide essential health services during the outbreak. This bravery requires the use of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment). PPE ensures the safety of the patients and anyone else the team comes into contact with. One set of disposable PPE which includes shoe covers, a gown, cap, and a mask costs $3.75.
Help keep Front Liners and patients safe by donating towards Personal Protection Equipment.
PROTECT Camp residents and refugees through COVID-19
Camp residents and refugees served by OBAT are already living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions that are ripe for the spread of the disease. Amid such a hazardous scenario, the need for precautions is paramount.
The women trained to sew at OBAT’s Empowerment Centers have taken up the task to sew masks for the protection of the residents and refugees. But resources are needed. Partner by providing resources. One disposable mask costs 12.5 cents.
Help PROTECT Camp residents and refugees by donating now.
SUSTAIN a family through COVID-19
Most of the population served by OBAT depends on daily wages for their survival. The total and sudden loss of income resulting from the crisis has created the threat of starving families who are unable to meet their daily needs. For only $35 a month, you can put food on a family’s table. Food packages distributed by OBAT in the camp and neighboring host communities include:
- 15 kg of rice
- 5 kg of flour
- 2 litres of cooking oil
- 1 kg of lentils
- 1 kg of sugar
- 1 kg of salt
- 200 g of tea
- 5 kg of potatoes
- 2 bars of soap
