Our Work in Action
Our core values are what unite us together around a common mission.
They shape what we do and how we do it.
How We Help
We employ experts in the fields of health and nutrition; shelter and infrastructure; water, sanitation, and hygiene; and cash assistance to assist families in meeting their basic needs during crises.
Then, we stay to help communities recover from crisis with dignity and safeguard against future disasters.
We work side-by-side with communities to leave a lasting impact and we strive,
wherever possible, to personalize our assistance to the individual needs of the people we serve.
Last year, we served 2.1 million people around the world.
