doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation Australia makes $25,000 donation to Children’s Ground.
Australian Aboriginal communities (AAC) are some of the most vulnerable populations to the COVID-19 outbreak.
For this reason, doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation Australia recently made a $25,000 donation to Children’s Ground, a not-for-profit organisation whose objective is to create a different future for First Nations children, families and communities experiencing the greatest levels of disadvantage. This money will go towards an appeal launched in March 2020 as part of their COVID-19 prevention and response plan.
“Children’s Ground have a fantastic track record working in AAC in the Northern Territory and are led by Aboriginal cultural governance” said doTERRA Healing Hands Australia coordinator, Patrick O’Callaghan. “What stood out to dHHFA is they’re able to get the required resources directly to the communities they specifically work in.”
Experts are warning that when the virus hits Alice Springs and Darwin, it will be hard to contain. With many elders suffering from serious underlying health conditions that put them at an increased risk of contracting COVID-19, First Nations families are desperately preparing themselves for the worst.
“The urgency to act now cannot be overstated” said Jane Vadiveloo, CEO for the organisation. “Based on other virus outbreaks, it is reasonable to anticipate that Aboriginal people will be 6 to 8 times more likely to be infected and to die from COVID-19.”
Children’s Ground is currently sourcing hygiene products and food to distribute to families so that they have the necessities on hand without having to leave self-isolation. The $25,000 donation made by doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation Australia will help purchase, transport and distribute these needed supplies into First Nations communities in Central Australia and Darwin.
