COVID-19

As the first step to aid in the COVID-19 Humanitarian effort, CHARIS has put aside $500,000 from our reserves to create a COVID-19 relief fund. COVID-19 has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands worldwide and there has been a sharp rise in humanitarian needs amongst the vulnerable populations in South-east Asia.
Through your contributions, CHARIS will be able to aid the most needy who have been impacted by the spread of the virus. Together, we can potentially save thousands of lives.

Your contribution can help to feed families who have been left without employment or income in Indonesia.

Your contribution can help to provide medical attention to migrant workers in Thailand, who do not have access to healthcare services.

Your contribution can help decrease the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment in Philippines, protecting front-liners and those who cannot afford masks.
