COVID-19 Response - Joint Aid Management

The impact of COVID-19 on 1.3 million vulnerable JAM beneficiaries calls for collective and urgent response. Pre-existing drivers such as poverty, food insecurity, epidemics, droughts, flooding, lack of water and sanitation, poor service delivery, low education levels, unequal access to information and civil strife will complicate the effects on these communities. And with the widespread shutdown of schools over 200,000 children are deprived of vital nutritional support. These are children and their families dependent on JAM’s school meals.

A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value. ~ Desmond Tutu

JAM’s primary commitment is to save lives in Africa, especially now with the global pandemic looming over Africa. We are also committed to help Africa help itself.

One off donations are valuable gifts that will make a big and immediate difference enabling us to respond quickly and effectively where our help is most needed.

Setting up a recurring donation takes commitment and is a partnership with JAM to invest into the lives of the most vulnerable until they can help themselves. It allows us to strategise and plan, and after giving the necessary aid, we can help them recover and establish a livelihood.

A one-off donation helps us fill up a tummy.
A recurring donation ensures a tummy stays full!
