CDC employs more than 1,500 staff in 50+ countries around the world. This fund provides humanitarian assistance to locally employed CDC staff in times of crisis.
These health workers are essential to CDC's work overseas, ensuring the sustainability and diversity of CDC's global programs. As these staff are often the primary breadwinners for their families, assistance from the Compassion Fund can be extremely helpful in an emergency situation.
