COVID-19 Emergency Response Funds - Africa Fund

Working with its local partners, the King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS) is launching Emergency Response Funds for several African countries at risk of being dangerously impacted by COVID-19.

Each one of these Emergency Response Funds will pool contributions from donors, and distribute their generosity to the nonprofits listed on the country page. These include local nonprofits working on the frontlines of their country's response - disseminating clear and factual information about the disease, working on prevention through access to water and soap, and providing much needed services to the most vulnerable groups, such as the poor and the elderly. Also listed are hospitals that will need additional beds, emergency equipment and basic supplies.

The King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS) understands that philanthropy is about personal stories. And sometimes, these stories take us beyond our borders. Since opening our offices as a 501(c)(3) public charity in 2002, we have served as a knowledgeable bridge between American donors and nonprofits overseas.
