Enhancing Networks For
A Better Future

IMPROVING EMERGENCY RESPONSE

We believe that communities should not have to endure on-going long-term effects of disasters. Our interventions build post-disaster resilience and capacity of communities to recover. We enhance the networks and structures that prepare them better to deal with future disasters. It is our belief that communities need sustainable infrastructure and the access to equipment and supplies to not only endure the immediate disaster, but to be able to recover and build a better future.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE FOCUS AREAS

Infrastructure

We focus on creating unfettered channels to ensure high quality and sustainable infrastructure that save lives and facilitate long term recovery of communities.

Capacity Building and Community Preparedness

When a disaster hits, local institutions and providers are on the frontlines of supporting communities that face devastation. Our partners build local capacities to create sustainable mechanisms within communities so they can cope with and recover from emergencies.

Equipment and Supplies

We believe that access to necessary medical and other equipment and supplies gives communities a better chance to recover from disasters. We work with our partners to ensure that the necessary equipment and supplies are readily available to the frontline responders and organizations.

On an average 60,000 people die globally every year and millions others get uprooted from their homes and communities.
