DISASTERS AND EMERGENCIES
DISASTERS HIT POOR COMMUNITIES HARDEST
Earthquakes, floods and other disasters have historically devastated communities around the world, but emergencies have become much more frequent and severe due to climate change, urbanisation and other factors.
Communities already living in poverty are the most vulnerable to disasters and often have the least resources to recover. For these families, short-term emergencies can quickly multiply into longer-term crises.
WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES BEFORE AND AFTER DISASTERS
We provide fast, effective and vital help around the world, and we stay for the long term to create sustainable solutions for entire communities. With emergency teams on call and a constant stock of essential supplies, we provide urgent humanitarian aid when disaster strikes.
