“Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Tirmidhi)
Our Emergency Fund urgently needs funds to save lives. It’s what helped us to respond to the Gaza crisis, the Lebanon blast, and the earthquake in Turkey without delay.
£100 – be a lifeline to a family in crisis. Provide a vulnerable family with food, clean water, and medical aid. Your donation can transform the recovery of a family that has lost their home and livelihood.
£70 - keep a family-of-five fed and nourished for an entire month with a wholesome and nutritious food parcel.
£35/month - help us be ready to respond rapidly, wherever and whenever disaster strikes, helping families to survive.
When a disaster strikes, our Emergency Fund allows us to respond within 72 hours, dispatching the aid and experts that the most vulnerable need. Arriving on the scene in these first hours is critical to controlling the scale of an emergency, and to helping to get families to safety.
Please donate and help us to respond to emergencies within 72 hours, helping communities to survive, recover, and rebuild.
What’s different about this appeal?
Each week, communities across the world face a new crisis to deal with. Most don’t make the headlines. This year alone, our Emergency Fund has saved lives by responding to floods in Yemen and Pakistan, an earthquake in Turkey, the emergency in Gaza, and displacement and drought in Somalia.
How our Emergency Fund has saved lives
Sadly, many communities are already dealing with major crises when they are hit by another. Families already struggling with displacement in Syria, now watch their children starve. COVID-19 has plunged 700,000 more children into malnutrition.
How our Emergency Fund has helped: We’re treating malnutrition, providing nutritious food parcels, and COVID-19 health kits, as well as our other Syria Appeal activities.
In Yemen, communities that are starving are hit by flash floods.
How our Emergency Fund has helped: We’re providing shelter, hygiene kits, and clean water, in addition to our other Yemen Appeal activities.
In Lebanon, a city still reeling with trauma, homelessness, and hunger since the Beirut blast, now has to find a way to protect themselves from the spread of COVID-19 and skyrocketing food prices.
How our Emergency Fund helped: We responded immediately to the explosion, providing food and water in the immediate aftermath, and, now, we’re providing food and weekly bread deliveries to help combat malnourishment.
We have 30 years of experience in responding to emergencies all over the globe.
To be there, whenever and wherever a disaster strikes, we urgently need more donations to our Emergency Fund. In every emergency, it’s always the most vulnerable – children, older people, those already struggling for food – who suffer the most.
The world is facing a scale of crisis that we’ve never seen before. Help us to turn this around. Donate to our Emergency Fund appeal and help us to act swiftly to save lives in emergencies.
We react
When disaster strikes, Human Appeal is one of the few humanitarian organisations able to rapidly access some of the world’s most hard-to-reach communities.
Even when emergencies are overlooked in the news and by other charities – meaning it can be hard to raise funds – our Global Emergency Fund enables us to react within 72 hours, so we can provide people with the essentials they need to survive, even when public awareness about their hardship is low.
We restore
When the emergency is over and long after TV cameras have left, Human Appeal remains on the ground to support those impacted by disaster.
As well as helping to prepare for emergencies, our Global Emergency Fund helps us to rebuild lives and communities after a crisis. From providing shelter and safe water to vital healthcare assistance, we are there to rebuild communities and help vulnerable families to begin to recover.
We reinforce
The impact of a disaster is felt for weeks, months and even years.
By supplying the vital tools and resources vulnerable communities need to rebuild their resilience, we can help ensure their future safety. We empower communities so that they can take ownership of their own futures - from helping them to build sustainable safe water systems to providing resilience livelihood training, we are there to transform and empower futures through our Global Emergency Fund.
Changing lives for 30 years
For almost 30 years, thanks to our supporters, Human Appeal has been helping people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are.
We react within hours and are proud of our teams who risk their lives to provide food, clean water, shelter, and medical aid for those trapped in a conflict or disaster situation. We also help vulnerable families to withstand and overcome crises in their communities, enabling them to recover and remain resilient to future disasters.
Last year alone, thanks to generous supporters like you, we helped 3,782,785 people, including over 2 million Palestinians, over 400,000 Yemenis and 10,000 people here in the UK, thanks to your support.
