Disaster care relief includes a variety of efforts to help people and communities in the aftermath of a disaster.

The disaster relief phase involves providing direct assistance through measures to alleviate suffering and often by providing financial assistance to people who are impacted.

Our years of experience, expansive global reach and robust network of partners enable us to take a comprehensive approach to emergency relief.

First, we work with communities to prepare for and mitigate the impact of disasters.

Then, we partner with local groups to provide immediate assistance when an emergency hits.

And finally, we work with survivors, especially women and children, to help them recover after the crisis has passed.

We respond to dozens of global emergencies each year, reaching approximately 12 million people through our disaster relief efforts.

Looking ahead, our goal is to create a flexible humanitarian surge fund to enable CARE to respond rapidly and effectively to up to four simultaneous large-scale emergencies, while addressing protracted emergencies. Donate today to help us reach our goal.
