We are grateful to our industry friends who have been generously responding positively and coming forward. We believe together, we can reach the maximum people who need help during this unprecedented difficult time."

We are grateful to the individuals and organisations who have generously contributed to the cause. The prolonged nature of the crisis has left millions of families under dire economic conditions and we need more individuals and private sector partners to come forward, enabling us to scale up the support interventions further."
