Coronavirus Pandemic

MAP International is responding to urgent needs in the United States and around the world. 

DOMESTIC RESPONSE

Through our partners, we have been able to serve the needs of patients, healthcare professionals, police officers, firefighters, homeless communities and those with special needs and disabilities.

  • Working with the US Southern Command’s Public Private Cooperation Division to provide Honduras with 1,300 Disaster Health Kits (DHKs) that contain personal hygiene supplies (including 27 pallets of personal care wipes) to fight the spread of the coronavirus, while providing 3,626 DHKs for US partners.

  • Shipping over 1,186 pallets of much-needed health supplies, including wipes, masks, hygiene products, and personal protective equipment across the United States and abroad.

  • Collaborating with The Salvation Army, The Cleveland Clinic, US Southern Command’s Public Private Cooperation Division and Send Relief to ensure that medicines and health supplies are reaching those who need them most.

Future responses are being coordinated throughout the United States.

INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE

In the early days of the pandemic, MAP helped to limit the spread of the virus by airlifting 3,000,000 masks, 300,000 pairs of gloves and more than 10,000 protective suits to our partners serving communities impacted by the coronavirus in China and several other countries.

MAP medicines, masks, gloves, soap and more are currently being used internationally in places like El Salvador, Nigeria, Italy, Philippines, Ethiopia, Haiti and Guatemala to combat the virus – and more shipments are planned.

Please join us in praying for all who are affected by this pandemic and please help support our relief efforts by making a gift today.

MAP Disaster Health Kits provide basic health supplies, such as toothbrushes, bandages, soap, and basic first aid supplies that help protect people from disease and prevent secondary illnesses and even death.
