The top three most important things which aid survival in an emergency are shelter, water and food. Depending on the weather conditions, you can sometimes only survive 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.

This is why your donations are so important. Your support means that together, we can respond quickly when an emergency strikes, listening to local women to find out what’s needed, and working with them to deliver it.

Thank you so much for your support. Your donations mean that from food to housing to healthcare, women get the support they need to rebuild their lives and to shape a better future.
