Solidarity counts, now more than ever. The Corona crisis confronts every one of us with tasks, above all, overwhelming those who are old, lonely, chronically ill, in need of care or have been living in socially precarious environments for most of their lives. Succinctly, the ones who are in desperate need for support must receive help by society. Hence, our contribution.
The ORF has founded a mutual aid program called ‘Austria helps Austria’ with the leading Austrian aid organisations for assistance in the present and future times catastrophe. Precisely, the aim is to unite all efforts through a holistically conceived initiative of nationwide cooperation and solidarity.
Caritas, Diakonie, Hilfswerk, Rotes Kreuz, Volkshilfe and Samariterbund take a common stance against the Covid-19 pandemic. An effort we wholeheartedly endorse.
For the World Food Programme (WFP), responding to emergencies is second nature – whatever their cause or location.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting the world as we knew it, with a heavy toll on human lives and economic activities. Its rapid global spread is threatening to affect millions of people already made vulnerable by food insecurity, malnutrition and the effects of conflict and other disasters.
To minimize the impact of the epidemic on the 138 million people it intends to serve this year, WFP is adapting its planning to ensure they will continue receiving the assistance they need.
We are ready to help starving people in this unprecedented crisis with our long-term experience as well as extensive know-how in the fields of first aid, logistic and supply chains, emergency telecommunication, nutrition and other key areas.
Plastrans cooperates with ColorsForGood: The bracelets are made responsibly by employing and empowering women from the State of Yucatán, in Mexico, who have very limited access to job opportunities. Each bracelet directly contributes towards improving their quality of life.
Additionally, ColorsForGood supports positive impact initiatives and NGOs that are working to make the world a better place through their Giving Back Program – amongst other projects in México, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
