In Washington state, COVID-19 vaccination is well underway.
But we all see the news: too many countries are just getting started, with tragic results in India and beyond.
PATH teams, including our 200 staff in India, are hard at work responding. In our Seattle headquarters, we are doing all we can to support them, while continuing to address other urgent global public health needs.
Pandemic responses across Africa, Asia, and Latin America face crucial challenges of vaccine supply, delivery, cost, and misinformation. The pandemic won’t be over until we are all safe and healthy. Your support is absolutely central to reaching that goal.
This week in Washington is GiveBIG. Neighbors like you are coming together to support local nonprofits like PATH, and take advantage of a limited opportunity to have your gift matched.
