United Action for
Crisis Relief
4 charities
Help provide relief for people in crisis
Crisis relief is needed when our everyday life is endangered by a major event. Charities provide basic needs to people suffering from loss— to show that we care, and move towards recovery. Our United Action bundles the very best performing charities providing crisis relief, so you can donate to several solutions at once.
The problem
Crisis relief is required when the capacity to maintain and restore patterns of everyday life is endangered by a major event. These events can be caused by terrorism, natural disasters, or war and conflict.
The goal of relief is to protect the civil population and provide immediate basic needs. Responses frequently emphasize protecting the children and vulnerable, feeding the hungry, healing the sick and providing shelter and hygiene facilities.
Catastrophes that require humanitarian help also pose significant mental and physical health risks.
Solutions
Effective solutions require collaborative work between governments, civilians, and foreign aid workers. Solutions should focus on four areas: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
Partnerships between larger international and local collaborators are an important factor in providing the best possible humanitarian response.
Further importance lies in monitoring the crises and finding gaps in order to respond in a coordinated and efficient manner. The use of IT and data technologies and sufficient training for local aid workers can help deploy aid faster.
