My story

 

Today we nearly cancelled the wedding party and gave all the money to DEC in aid of the cyclone victims in Burma/Myanmar. It turns out Lucy is too selfish, so was hoping you could salve her conscience slightly…

£10,000 is the approximate cost of the food at the wedding so hopefully you guys can match it for DEC instead of bringing a picnic!

£25 will provide mosquito nets for 10 people to protect from them from malaria.

£50 will pay for clean water and water purification tablets for one family for 3 months.

£100 will provide household kits for 10 families. A kit contains cooking pots, mugs, plates, cutlery, washing powder, toilet paper, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo, razors, sanitary towels and bath towels.

Disasters Emergency Committee is unique in that the member agencies are the leading UK registered humanitarian charities. DEC members have the profile to ensure successful national appeals and expertise in the delivery and provision of aid. Members' performance and any new applicants are reviewed every two years.

DEC member agencies are signatories to the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs in Disaster Relief. They have a demonstrable commitment to the principles enshrined in the humanitarian charter to achieve Sphere and People in Aid standards, plus a willingness to be evaluated against them.

The 13 member agencies are:

ActionAid, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Care International, Christian Aid, Concern, Help the Aged, Islamic Relief, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund, World Vision
