EMERGENCY RELIEF
Assist people after natural disasters and offer crisis response.
We are now raising funds for the crisis in Ukraine and helping refugees in Romania. Learn more.
When disaster hits
It is hard to deal with the consequences of lost lives, and damaged structures, especially in communities that do not have proper resources to be ready for emergencies.
Emergency Relief support is put in place to quickly respond to natural disasters and overcome immediate problems, like we did after the earthquake in Haiti and a flash flooding in Laos. We also build communities's capacity to prepare.
We make sure people get the necessary help as soon as possible, and provide assistance for fast recovery.
Earthquake in Haiti
On August 14, 2021, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit the Nippes Department of Haiti, in the southwestern part of the country.
To make matters worse, Haitians had to endure Tropical Storm Grace just two days later. The heavy rainfalls posed a challenge not only for displaced people but also for relief efforts to reach those in need.
Good Neighbours provided sleeping bags, mosquito nets, flashlights, water filters, antibiotics, and masks.
Emergency kits with clean water, food, first aid, and personal hygiene supplies were also distributed to the population.
War in Ethiopia
The war in the region of Tigray began in November 2020 between the Tigray People Liberation Front (TPLF) and the national defense forces.
The fighting has killed thousands and displaced over 2 million people. Good Neighbours assisted with food, medication, health kits, blankets, mattresses, and mental health support.
Bushfire in Australia
Australia faced a devastating fire season from late 2019 until the worst fires in February 2020.
A total of $10,000 was raised for food hampers. Items were purchased from local shops, helping support local businesses and provide more nutritious food. For every dollar, $7.70 is returned to the community through reduced public health and welfare needs.

Humanitarian Aid
After forced displacement, we offer refugees immediate help, and advocate for their rights, since they cannot be sent back to their country if this puts them in danger.
Strengthening their self-reliance is a huge aspect we focus on.
Good Neighbours also assists children and their families suffering from stress and trauma.
