When people are supported before, during and after a disaster, they are more likely to survive and recover.
That’s why we work with communities to protect lives, provide emergency shelter kits and food supplies, and rebuild livelihoods. We have disaster responses and disaster risk reduction projects in countries including Fiji, Lebanon and Philippines.
With a strong global presence in over 100 countries, ADRA is well-placed to help in times of need. When people need us, we’re already there.
Your gift to our Disaster Relief Fund helps us provide immediate disaster relief when disasters, like those listed above, strike. Your gift also helps to provide long-term recovery and disaster risk reduction activities in the aftermath.

Impact Story
“The electricity and water were off because of the shelling. Then a missile hit, ten metres from our home. We decided to leave because it was too dangerous to stay.”
Anna and her family fled their hometown of Lysychans’k in Ukraine to relative safety in Dnipro. They had nothing left of their previous life, except for the few bags they packed. “We started looking for support systems, especially food and psychological support,” Anna says.
Through ADRA, Anna and her family have been receiving food and counselling support, and cash grants. Anna’s son Symon* has also received learning support. Symon has epilepsy and a linguistic disability and without specialised support, he would fall behind in school.
“We believe the future will be better,” says Anna.
