Our Work in Disaster Response
Our Work
At World Relief, we take a local approach to disaster relief and recovery, relying upon local knowledge, expertise and resources where our staff is already on the ground—and on partnerships with like-minded Christian organizations when and where we’re not.
Our approach concentrates on mobilizing and equipping local churches and community partners—those who know their communities, know their needs, know their volunteers and know the most vulnerable. Through these partners, in 2017, we provided humanitarian aid to over 800,000 people through:
Provision of food
& clean water
Safe, reliable shelter
Sanitation & hygiene
Emergency nutrition assistance
Psychosocial support
