Humanitarian & Disaster Response
Together, we can bring relief to those suffering in their greatest time of need.
Humanitarian crises are on the rise, fueled by increasing conflict and climate events around the world. Crisis in the Middle East. War in Ukraine. Ongoing conflict in DR Congo. A Sudanese refugee crisis in Chad. These tragic events have caused immense suffering and loss in recent years.
If you're like us, you believe everyone should have somewhere safe to turn in their greatest moments of need. That's why we work alongside trusted, local responders and churches to provide necessities like food, clean water, shelter, healthcare, psychosocial support and more in the wake of humanitarian crises.
But we can't respond without people like you.
When you give today, you help us:
