Borderless Allies: A borderless story
The story started when one Chinese international student and her roommate organized a fundraiser to help distribute masks for U.S. hospitals during the pandemic.
In less than a month, they successfully raised over $5,000 and received over 6,000 masks.
With the funds raised, they were able to purchase 20K masks and arranged logistics for delivery in the U.S. In less than two weeks, 12K masks were delivered from their apartment in Los Angeles to more than 60 organizations across 10 states.
One day, an old friend from Sri Lanka reached out to them, asking if it’s possible that supplies can be sent to the villages in Sri Lanka as well. They responded "yes" because they realized no other volunteer organization is sending help to developing countries. With some research online, they also learned about the unprecedented struggles people in developing countries are facing.
Without hesitation, they quickly partnered up with the Sri Lankan friend and coordinated their very first food distribution event. With just $10, they provided a family with so much food that covered an entire table. They then realized: with an efficient organization, every dollar can go so much further in a developing country and help many more people in need.
Join our #Alliesforchange zoom challenge, for every challenge completed, Borderless Allies will donate 4 masks to a family in need.

WHY CHOOSE US
In this time of crisis, COVID-19 has been a big shock and overwhelming virus for the health system of different countries especially to the developing countries. Different measures are being implemented to control the spread of the virus, and governments are doing the best they can to fight this health crisis.
Aside from the governments of each country, different organizations are also taking action in providing medical relief efforts for developing countries. These include large and small non-profit organizations around the world. When it comes to donating and wanting to extend a helping hand, how do you determine which organization you can send your help?
Borderless Allies is a nonprofit organization with a team of volunteers committed to send care packages to developing countries. Our care packages include masks, food, and other essential items that are needed to fight COVID-19. Since we are 100% volunteer-based, and exerting our fundraising efforts online, we are able to save and cut expenses for a physical office, rental, maintenance of electricity, water, utilities, and materials. By this, we are capable of putting all saved money for purchasing PPEs, necessary goods and equipment, and logistics.
A single $15-donation we received from crowdfunding and fundraising efforts enables us to provide 26 protective face masks with the inclusion of logistic funds to other countries. This small monetary donation also provides multiple meals for a single family.
Be part of our mission and extend a helping hand to other countries with unprivileged citizens in need! Your monetary donation, food supplies, and other medical equipment support are huge factors to help countries fight COVID-19.
