Emergency Appeals

Your support can mean the difference between life and death

Around the world, emergencies are unfolding right now - devastating conflicts, natural disasters, and humanitarian crises that leave families without food, shelter, or medical care.

But when crisis strikes, we respond thanks to the support of donors like you. When floods force families from their homes, when war shatters communities, or when drought brings hunger to millions - we are there. And we rely on people like you to make that response possible.
