Saving lives
We seek to save lives
When disasters and conflicts threaten lives, we are there to provide immediate support wherever possible.
Climate change, prolonged conflict, ineffective governance and growing inequality all drive devastating crises.
We’re on the ground with life-saving assistance, like clean water, sanitation supplies, food and shelter for communities that need it most, and we’re helping to rebuild livelihoods over the long term.

“We got scared when water came in, along with rains. Oh God, where to go? [There was] no space left even to run away … Everything was gone, nothing was left for us.”
