Is CNEWA still providing aid abroad?<\/h4>
\n

Why a COVID-19 emergency campaign?<\/h4>

We are responding to the invitation of Pope Francis \u201cnot to abandon the suffering, especially the poorest, in facing the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic\u201d.  CNEWA, in collaboration with the Holy See\u2019s Congregation for Eastern Churches, has launched an emergency campaign to care for the sick and the vulnerable affected by COVID-19 in the regions where we work \u2013 the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India and Eastern Europe.

Does my donation go to the Vatican?<\/h4>
\n

Can I get a tax receipt for my donation?<\/h4>
\n
