The Interfaith Movement to End the Pandemic

Love Beyond Borders Let's end this pandemic. Donate Today. Advance #3022671 The Interfaith movement to End the Pandemic. In support of Unicef USA (for every child). The Advance Global Ministries. The United Methodist Church

LAUMC’s October Connectional Offering is “Love Beyond Borders.”
The Love Beyond Borders campaign aims to raise funds for the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines around the world. The initiative has emerged from First United Methodist Church, Boise, ID and seeks to engage The United Methodist Church in supporting COVAX alongside UNICEF, the key vaccine delivery partner. All funds raised will be sent to UNICEF for this project.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to have severe consequences, especially on the poorest and most vulnerable populations. Accelerating the rate at which all people are vaccinated is the key to ending the pandemic and reducing harm. According to research from Northeastern University, 61% of deaths globally could be averted if an effective vaccine were distributed to all countries proportional to their populations. While many wealthy countries have made significant inroads into vaccinating their citizens, this is not the case in less-developed countries. The Love Beyond Borders campaign will support COVAX’s initiative to equitably distribute vaccines around the world.

The goal of this project is to assist COVAX and UNICEF in equitably distributing the COVID-19 vaccine around the world to end the pandemic.

Global Ministries and UMCOR have supported partners in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and North America as they work to respond to the pandemic and its impacts. Grants have been awarded for personal protective and essential medical equipment; cleaning solution, soap and handwashing stations; assistance with salaries, livelihoods, food, rent and utilities; awareness and training in COVID-19 prevention; and vaccine promotion.

At its August meeting, the Connectional Table, a United Methodist leadership body, took an action affirming the importance of equitable COVID-19 vaccine distributions.

According to research from Northeastern University, 61% of deaths globally could be averted if an effective vaccine were distributed to all countries proportional to their populations. While many wealthy countries have made significant inroads into vaccinating their citizens, this is not the case in less-developed countries.
