Through Episcopal Relief & Development’s partnership with the Diocese of Jerusalem, Anglicans in the Middle East quickly responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Partners adapted services to continue to provide care to physically disadvantaged children in Jerusalem, Jordan and Lebanon through the innovative use of digital tools. Episcopal Relief & Development also supported these centers as they reopened with protocols to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus. Partners provided medicine and PPE to medical centers in Gaza City and the northern West Bank to support continued medical care to marginalized communities. In Lebanon, the diocese distributed cash grants to female migrant domestic workers and food to local families impacted by the crisis.

Episcopal Relief & Development and the Anglican Diocese of Colombo partner on a comprehensive disaster management and preparedness strategy. The Diocese trains staff and clergy to create disaster preparedness plans and engage their communities in building resilience and minimizing risk. Building on that success, the ecumenical National Christian Council of Sri Lanka (NCCSL) asked the Diocese to replicate the Disaster Resilience capacity building program to train all its constituent members. With our partners, we also provide water, sanitation and hygiene programs (WASH) along with environmental-sustainability projects such as tree planting and water-supply cleaning.
