Coronavirus emergency appeal
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit us all hard. We want to thank you for walking with us, even in this most challenging of times. But we still need your help.
Many A Rocha teams serve communities in countries with weak public health systems and whose populations already face threats to their health and livelihoods. For some, the restrictions are having a significant impact on conservation activities and finances. In India, Uganda and Peru, the situation is particularly critical. Even so, we are encouraged by the amazing and sacrificial ways teams have responded and continue to support people and nature. Nabisere Esther from Kampala thanked A Rocha Uganda for her bio-sand filter, saying, ‘During this lockdown we are almost having no income. I thank God that my family can get enough drinking water from the filter without spending money on charcoal to boil it.’
