The world is experiencing an unprecedented level of  humanitarian need. In 2018, a staggering one hundred and thirty five million people were in need of assistance.

Natural disasters, disease outbreaks and conflict can hit at any time. The UN is recording a climate crisis disaster every week. In 2018 alone, 100 disease outbreaks were declared by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Long wars and failed states have led to protracted crisis with refugees forced to live in camps far from home.

The people affected are often the world’s poorest and most vulnerable and the health problems they experience post-disaster are long-lasting.  We believe that they deserve the highest quality emergency healthcare. We seek to save lives, but also to build resilient health systems so that people can lead healthy lives in the future.

There are simply not enough trained clinical staff globally able to provide emergency healthcare following these events. We train experienced doctors, nurses, paramedics, midwives and other health professionals to respond to disasters around the world, and work with local emergency teams to build their resilience to future threats.

When disasters hit, we believe in a world prepared to help. All funds raised will help us respond when they do. Thank you.
