In 2020, the first ever International Day of Epidemic Preparedness was celebrated on December 27th. It was called for by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate the importance of the prevention of as well as the preparedness for epidemics.

On 9th of December 2021, the HOPE'87 General Assembly will be held digitally due to the pandemic.

On the 3rd of December, we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Persons with disabilities are among the hardest hit by COVID-19, which is why disability inclusion is an essential condition to upholding human rights, sustainable development, peace and security and it is central to the promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to leave no one behind.

HOPE’87, with its humanitarian aid project in Myanmar, set itself the goal to provide water, sanitation and hygiene as well as to respond to the nutrition and health needs of the internally displaced people living in the camps of Paletwa.

In August, our project that provides timely lifesaving assistance and protection to Rohingya refugees has started! Its aim is to improve the living conditions and build resilience of Rohingya refugees living in the camps as well as of affected host communities in Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char.
