ETIV do Brasil has already begun taking-action to respond to the threat of COVID-19 and the increased poverty and hunger that the shutdown has caused our communities. Your support will further help us to:
Organize Food Donations
We have already begun to receive donations, purchase food and distribute it to the families most in need in our communities.
Purchase and distribute Masks
We have already begun purchasing and distributing masks in the poorest communities of Itacaré. We just found some local community members that have begun making hand-made re-usable masks. So we can support our neighbors and keep the community safer.
Set up Sanitation Stations
We will set up sanitation stations in key areas of our neighborhood where families do not have access to basic sanitation and running water. This will help ensure that everyone in our community will be able to wash their hands regularly, especially before they leave and return home or enter the local markets.
The overall sustainability of the NGO is at great risk of bankruptcy in the next few months as our financial streams have been abruptly halted.
After 5 years of increased success and impact on our community, ETIV do Brasil is looking at possible bankruptcy, especially if we are no longer able to keep our programs running or sign up volunteers and interns to support our work.
Your donation could make all the difference in allowing us to make it through these difficult times and restart our programming once the Covid-19 threat has passed.
