CHILDREN LIKE MUNAZA NEED YOUR HELP

10-year old Munaza, pictured, is sharing a small crowded tent in the world’s largest refugee settlement in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. With 1.2 million people living in the settlement and cases of coronavirus confirmed, the lack of access to clean water and handwashing facilities, along with the inability to social distance in such crowded conditions, means a devastatingly high death toll could be imminent.


Just ten ICU beds service the entire Cox’s Bazar area and there are currently no ICU beds in the refugee camps themselves. Children like Munaza need your help to stay safe during these troubling times.

PLEASE HELP SAVE LIVES TODAY

Plan International, a global children’s charity, has 80 years’ experience responding to emergencies and is already working round the clock in Cox’s Bazar. We are installing handwashing facilities, distributing thousands of hygiene kits and providing educational materials to keep children learning. It’s just one of 50,000 vulnerable communities we are reaching to help save lives across 50 countries. More support is urgently needed – please will you help?

YOU CAN HELP CHILDREN LIKE MUNAZA NOW:
£22 could provide five children with educational materials and a radio for remote learning
£76 can provide three families with life-saving hygiene items for a month to help stop the spread of the virus.
