Covid-19 has impacted every corner of God's earth. While the US navigates unprecedented restrictions, developing countries are navigating their own cultural changes that are impacting their ability to maintain and gather food. Limited stored food has quickly been depleted. RestoreUS was contacted by an organization working in Rwanda. They expressed the dire situation of hundreds of families that were sheltering in place as mandated by the local government. Once harvested and stored food ran out, people began to emerge from their huts in search of remaining crops. When the authorities questioned their movement, one simply replied, "dying from COVID can't be more painful than starving to death." RestoreUS urgently responded and provided funds directly to local Government community leaders. This quick, radical gift allowed for immediate action in Africa. Rice, beans, flour, and soap were purchased and organized so that safe distribution could take place as soon as possible. It is estimated that roughly 400 people were provided with food.
