The future appears ever more uncertain for the most vulnerable populations, especially the lepers. Their living conditions are worsened with Covid-19 pandemic as the number of cases has surpassed five million. More than 80 000 people has died so far. Schools, Colleges remain shut while workplaces, hotels and restaurants are reopening.

But, in this critical time, we did not forget our brothers and sisters! We helped thousands of families with cooked meals and groceries. All the beneficiaries are so grateful to receive the food assistance and they are touched to hear that friends from other side of the world are giving with a heart of compassion. Thank you for standing with us continually.

The spread of Covid-19 has disrupted lives, economies and business in all the countries of the world. India and Nepal have been largely impacted by the consequences of the lockdown. Companies have to stop their activities until the end of the lockdown planned in the beginning of June. 

In consequence, our drilling bore wells programme was halted due to the lockdown. The drilling company we are hiring, the masons and plumbers could not come anymore to compel to the law. This is a difficult time for Eternal Word Ministries, and we don’t know when things will come back to normality. It is heartbreaking because we receive a lot of requests from several villages asking for help, but we cannot at this moment give a favorable answer.

For all of our Partners who have given to the drilling bore wells programme, please be reassured the donations are kept for this project. The work is resuming gradually. We believe you will understand the situation. Once the work is done, you will be informed. If you have changed your address or email address, please inform our Office. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Friends and Partners,

EWM serve some of the poorest and most vulnerable populations in India and Nepal and as you can imagine, they are the ones particularly affected during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since the lockdown in India many families are going through starvation because of no more possibility to get a daily job and earn some money. In this pandemic crisis, we want to help the poorest. We already fed hundreds of people by giving them prepackaged food or by bringing grocery parcels. Your special contribution of £10 or $10 will help us to supply one week grocery for one family and help them to survive until the end of the lockdown extended until 3rd of May.

You can send your donation by Paypal or to EWM bank account in your country and put as remark – Covid-19 Emergency Fund Appeal. Thank you once again for your love and compassion.
