Disaster Response
It’s not OK!
It’s not OK that when an unforeseen disaster strikes, people living in extreme poverty are the ones who suffer most. They’re faced with unimaginable hardships, are left without the resources they need to rebuild their communities and often struggle for basic needs such as food and water. FH works with local governments, other NGO’s, and our exceptional emergency response team to bring restoration and hope to those affected by natural disasters or living amidst violence, war, famine and other crisis situations.
How we Serve During a Disaster
When disaster strikes, lives depend on our ability to respond swiftly and efficiently. That’s why we always seek to respond to emergency situations in collaboration with strategic alliances and partners, such as the Integral Alliance.This allows us to be the most effective in our urgent response to disaster situations. When a disaster strikes in areas where Food for the Hungry works, our Emergency Response Unit is quick to respond and get on the ground in the affected area. We work with local partners to determine the most urgent needs, which are usually food distribution, access to clean water, infrastructure stabilization, safe spaces for children and medical aid.
