Two ideas are at the core of the Latter-day Saint Charities response:
As 2021 has progressed, people everywhere are seeking to manage the distress of COVID-19 in addition to many preexisting needs. Your support has allowed us to reach out, love our neighbors, and help fill these needs. Because of you, we’ve been able to give aid where it is needed. This includes funding to three schools to help 1,200 Syrian refugee children stay connected to their education and feel a sense of belonging. We also provided $5.8 million worth of critical oxygen to hospitals in the Amazon region and food to feed about 1 million Brazilians who were hit hard by a severe wave of COVID-19 and food shortages. Additionally, we were able to commit $20 million to the global COVAX initiative, which aims to deliver 2 billion doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to 196 countries. Your support not only allows us to respond to current emergencies but also helps us prepare for future disasters and needs. Latter-day Saint Charities’ work of serving God’s children everywhere could not happen without your generosity, compassion, and support. We are grateful for you, and we dedicate ourselves to continuing to provide help and relief to those around the world in need of clean water, food, medical care, disability support, and so much more. Thank you for your contributions and for your love and generosity toward your brothers and sisters around the globe.
