WES Fund Announces COVID-19 Response Grants to Support Immigrant and Refugee Workers in the U.S.

Earlier this month, the World Education Services (WES) Mariam Assefa Fund shared its initial responses to the needs exposed and created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Immigrants are America’s workers, and 12 million are currently on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis. Immigrant workers number disproportionately among America’s health care, food delivery, and janitorial service workers. They also rank high in industries hardest hit by the faltering economy, such as caregiver, food, retail, and hospitality sectors.

There is already limited access to healthcare, so undocumented people should have the resources to be able to take care of themselves.
