The Estonian Red Cross, which has lost approximately half of its income due to the coronavirus, applied to the Ministry of Social Affairs for a one-time grant of â¬90,000, but the state will not be supporting the organization, citing a lack of funds.
For years, the main sources of earning own income for the Estonian Red Cross have been the sale of first aid services and training, which has decreased by approximately 50 percent compared to 2019 due to the spread of COVID-19.

Therefore, we are concerned about the sustainability and development of the Estonian Red Cross, Harri Viik, president of the organization, said.
