The COVID-19 pandemic sweeping the globe is bringing death and destruction—yet India and other parts of South Asia are just now at the start of what promises to be a nightmare. Limited medical resources will be overwhelmed, but the most immediate danger for millions will be the prospect of starvation.
We at GFA and our field partners have entered an all-out crisis response mode to immediately help the most destitute: the beggars who now have no way of receiving alms, the daily labourers without jobs, people living on the street, and anyone else in need.
Our workers were on the ground when India’s lockdown began on March 25, 2020, and we began working with local governments to provide aid immediately. With a wide reach of thousands of congregations and fellowship groups spread throughout South Asia, we are in a unique position to provide aid where others cannot.
Please join us in this long-term effort as we seek to help millions who are affected.
