Coronavirus has caused a severe declining in the African economy where many jobs have been disappeared because of the pandemic, and the family income has diminished by 12%. Top of that, the World Bank warns that around 43 million Africans are on the verge of falling into extreme poverty as a consequence of the epidemic.

Direct Aid has taken the responsibility of providing integrated development services in the African region and conducting its projects close to the beneficiary impartially without any distinguish. General Manager of the Direct-Aid Society has emphasized also on the importance of focusing on sustainable projects especially in light of the continued impact of the climate change that caused a drought to agricultural and rich environmental areas, which led to an increase in displacement and migrations. Such changes encourage charitable and humanitarian organizations to put more effort into sustainable projects than the express relief intervention to achieve maximum benefit and be able to improve human life in the less fortunate communities.
