# Emergency relief fund

> A fund ready before the next flood, fire, or storm, so help arrives in days, not weeks.

- Goal: $100,000
- Raised: $54,200 (54 %)
- Donors: 910
- Time left: Ongoing

When a flood, a fire, or a storm hits, the first days decide how families recover. Waiting for an appeal to raise money costs time that people do not have.

## Why it matters

A fund that exists before the emergency lets us act the same day. We keep a stock of hygiene kits, tarpaulins, and food parcels in a local warehouse, and we work with partners who know the neighbourhoods.

After the first response, the fund pays for repairs, school kits, and the rent of a temporary home while families rebuild.

The fund is always open. We report every response on this page: where we went, what we delivered, and what it cost.

## How your gift helps

- $50: a hygiene kit for a displaced family
- $120: a tarpaulin and tools to repair a roof
- $300: a month of food for a family of five
