Google promised to match the first .5 million in donations, which will initially be deposited with Donations for Good and then distributed to Doctors Without Borders, international Rescue Committee, Save the Children and UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
Google has already announced at $1.1 million donation to organizations providing front-line humanitarian relief to refugees and migrants across the globe last week, and now it’s inviting you and me to join it so that the impact of our contribution can be doubled.
More than 300,000 refugees and migrants have traveled across the Mediterranean Sea this year, resulting in at least 2,500 people dying or going missing. Some European countries closed their borders temporarily, in an attempt to handle the constant waves of refugees coming to the continent. This links to a single page in which Google expands on its refugee and migrant crisis appeal.
Save the Children and Google today announced a new global public giving campaign to assist families fleeing the Middle East in unprecedented numbers and seeking a safe haven in Europe.
Masoud began the post with her personal story as a refugee.
As refugees continue to flee war-torn Syria in the hope of a better future, Google is taking steps to help them.
