Together let’s ensure that the vulnerable groups are not left behind.




The Crisis :

The Covid-19 pandenic has now spread worldwide and there is no sign that the epidemic will end soon. Many countries are now overwhelmed with the number of rising cases and deaths. Up to now, more than 20,000 people globally have died, with more than 500,000 confirmed cases spread across at least 170 countries. As a result, many governments worldwide have ordered a lock down to help contain the epidemic.

Lost Wages :

As a result of the pandemic, many are losing their monthly incomes. Taxi drivers, food-service workers, flight attendants, and janitorial staff are some of many professions that could face months of financial struggle.

The Elderly :

Not only are the elderly the most vulnerable to dying from Covid-19, they are also among the poorest and the least able to gather groceries and supplies.

Refugees :

There are more than 70.8 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, including 41.3 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), 25.9 million refugees and 3.5 million asylum seekers.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of education and medical resources in various refugee camps and IDPs, if we do not quickly take proactive measures to educate and provide medical assistance/kits, it will spread very quickly and will result in thousands or hundreds of thousands of deaths. 


The Campaign:

Global Ehsan Relief aims to reach out to all of you to help provide the necessities for those who are vulnerable, especially the widows, orphans, elderly and refugees. Together, with your help and our partners abroad, this is possible. 

We intend to provide essential resources and services to vulnerable individuals and families affected by this crisis worldwide. We will be sharing a detailed breakdown and Visual Proof of where the funds are going with all the donors digitally and continuously to ensure complete transparency.


Our Particular Areas of Focus would be:
- Elderly who are unable to get livelihood and are at most risk from Coronavirus

- Confirmed Cases who are critically ill and their families needing help

- Daily Wage Earners who are unable to put food for their families and are on the verge of complete Starvation 

- Women who are supporting their families and because of this epidemic are simply unable to put food for their families

Our Two Main Areas of Support Provided would be:
- Providing Critical Food Rations to those on the verge of starvation

- Paying for medical care for those who are unable to pay for themselves


"We are extremely worried. If the virus reaches here, it will spread like wildfire," said Rohingya community leader Mohammad Jubayer.

Thus, funds are needed to operate the Medical Clinic in the refugee camp for the next two months at least.

Please help our campaign even if its just with $1. Every contribution we receive will go towards saving a life.


Reaching out to the vulnerable in Singapore :

Many families in Singapore are also affected by this global outbreak. The pandemic has resulted in some unprecedented outcomes such as closure of businesses, children missing school, and workers losing jobs. Due to their incomes being disrupted, it is tough for them to keep up with providing for their families, paying medical bills, and for the children to keep up with school work due to lack of technology to adapt to the situation.

Alleviating their hardship :

For such reasons, we are reaching out to 40 families who are made up of widows, single parents, the disabled, and those who were rendered unemployed from this pandemic. Through this fund, these families will receive $200 cash + a $50 NTUC voucher to tide them over and ease their grocery shopping, ensuring that they have food to eat during this isolation period.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity." - At-Tirmidhi, Hadith 604

“Whoever saves a life, saves the whole of mankind” (Qur’an 5:32)


Here’s what we have achieved for the past 5 years. GER is a registered NGO with offices in 5 countries - Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and Singapore. For the past 5 years we have completed over 100 projects worldwide distributing over 3 million dollars of humanitarian aid in over 20 countries.
