At any given time, we are responding to over 30 emergency situations. We provide life-saving essentials in the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster and to people affected by conflict, as well as long-term development support. You can help.
We work in more than 90 countries, with programs in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, across Asia and in parts of Eastern Europe.
We help people caught up in natural disasters and conflicts across the world with clean water, food, sanitation and protection. At any given time, we are responding to over 30 emergency situations, giving life-saving support to those most in need.
Millions of people are being forced from their homes, risking everything to escape conflict, disaster, poverty or hunger. From those fleeing the war in Syria or climate change-induced droughts, to those stranded in inadequate conditions in Europe, you can help us give life-saving support to refugees in the countries where they need it most.
The crisis in Syria continues to cause tremendous human suffering to people both inside and outside the country. The conflict is driving the largest refugee crisis in the world. Nearly 12 million people – 2 in 3 Syrians – are still dependent on humanitarian aid. They need your help.

Our commitment to safeguarding
How we are protecting those we work with.
Every year, April 22 marks Earth Day, a day to celebrate the fight for a sustainable environment. Climate change is already devastating the lives of millions of people around the globe. It’s hitting the poorest people first and worst, with women bearing the brunt.

But recently, people, lead mostly by youth, have taken to the streets!
