The International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB) has published the final report for its Mindful Action: COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, which ran from April 2020 through March 2021. The relief fund was aimed at providing a grassroots emergency response in support for the most vulnerable groups in countries within the INEB network, specifically in South and Southeast Asia.
INEB has initiated a wide range of educational projects and social outreach programs across the region. Early last year, in response to the unfolding SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the organization launched the Mindful Action: COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund, aiming to bring urgently needed relief to vulnerable and underprivileged communities during the growing global coronavirus crisis.*

The Buddhist humanitarian relief organization Join Together Society Korea (JTS Korea), founded by the renowned Korean Seon (Zen) monk Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, working in cooperation with the Preah Sihanouk Raja Buddhist University, Battambang Branch (SBUBB), has reported the successful distribution of emergency relief supplies in Cambodia’s Battambang Province in the wake of last year’s devastating floods.
In late 2020, the worst flooding in a decade inundated large areas of Cambodia, already reeling from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Between October and November, Cambodia was hit by 13 consecutive tropical storms, leading to widespread flash floods that deluged communities, causing landslides, unearthing mines and other unexploded war ordnance, and damaging or destroying farmland and infrastructure.
