Choose Love, the charity pop-up shop that has raised millions of pounds for Help Refugees, is back (in an online capacity) to support refugee communities during the coronavirus outbreak. With many refugees living in overcrowded and unsanitary camps, with limited access to medical care, they have no way to self-isolate and no way to wash their hands, meaning they are at a greater risk of catching the virus.
The store is selling three bundles that represent products or services needed to help tackle the effects of the virus in refugee camps. There’s the Basic Washbag, which provides hygiene supplies; the Toilets and Showers bundle, which goes towards improving water and sanitation systems; and the Medical Support bundle, which pays for medical equipment, PPE and the services of doctors and nurses.
