Thanks to the Donors, We Were Able to Give Refugees Hope
GCS raised funds to provide food for vulnerable refugee families. Thanks to your interest and contribution, we were able to achieve the target amount. A total of 46 donors raised $5,050 for our project in supplying food packages to refugee families.
The COVID-19 Food Relief Project for Refugees in Myanmar
This food relief project helps about 200 refugee families who live in the Thai-Myanmar border. After many years of living in foreign soil as refugees, they resettled in Karen State to begin their lives. However, due to COVID-19, they have become more marginalized and it has become more difficult for them to escape poverty. GCS will carry out the food relief project for the most vulnerable refugee families.
The COVID-19 Lockdown Has Delayed the Provision of Food
Currently we are waiting for an appropriate time to transfer food. With the recent surge of confirmed cases in Myanmar, COVID-19 lockdown measures have been tightened. This has made the movements of food and necessities completely impossible. Once the lockdown is eased, GCS will begin to provide food for about 150 families.
We appreciate you for standing with global neighbors. You made refugees be able to move forward in their lives. Thank you so much!
