Disaster relief


Watch this video to find out more about what happens when a disaster strikes one of the communities where CARE works. A simple animation to show how we respond to today's emergencies. And help communities prepare for tomorrow's.

 


Fighting poverty is never more difficult than in times of crisis.

Disasters and conflict disrupt the lives of more than 500 million people every year. CARE worked in 87 countries in the last year, so we are able to respond to emergencies fast and make sure help gets to where it is needed most.

The first phase of our response is to meet people’s basic needs, including food, water, sanitation, shelter and health care. Our emergency capacity - funds, resources and specialist staff - allows us to provide fast, effective assistance.
