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

Before you give
Questions about giving to a cause
Short answers. The FAQ has the rest, grouped by topic.
All questionsCan I choose where my gift goes?
Yes. A gift made from a cause page goes to that cause. A general gift goes where the need is greatest that month.
What happens if a cause raises more than its goal?
The extra goes to the same kind of work: more backpacks, more beds, more wells. We say so on the cause page.
What happens if a cause does not reach its goal?
We still spend every gift on that cause, and we tell you on the cause page what was funded and what was not.
