Our work
Crisis relief
Emergency food, shelter support, disaster and displacement response, and help through recovery.
Please read this first
A crisis does not wait for a process. Our aim is to be useful quickly, and to still be there when the urgency has passed and the attention has moved on.
Recovery takes far longer than the emergency did, and it is where most support quietly disappears.
The challenge
Disaster, displacement and sudden loss strip away the things people rely on, often all at once and with no notice.
The help that arrives in the first week is rarely the help that is still there in the sixth month, when it is needed just as much.
What we do
We respond to immediate need, and we plan for the recovery from the start rather than treating it as someone else's problem.
We work with communities on what would make the next shock less devastating, because there usually is a next one.
Emergency food
Immediate food provision in a crisis.
Temporary shelter support
Help with somewhere safe to stay.
Disaster relief
Response when a community is hit suddenly.
Displacement support
Support for people who have had to leave home.
Recovery assistance
Support through the long period after the emergency ends.
Community resilience
Work that leaves a community better able to withstand the next shock.
