When emergencies hit, we support partners on the ground with
Timor Leste and Indonesia Floods
Tropical Cyclone Seroja struck Timor-Leste and eastern parts of Indonesia in April 2021, triggering torrential rain and flash flooding. Our local partners in Timor-Leste and Indonesia are distributing food to communities displaced by the floods. We are also providing blankets for pregnant women, people with disability, elderly people and children in Timor-Leste.
South-East Asia Cyclone Crisis
When Super Typhoon Goni hit the Philippines, it destroyed thousands of homes, and brought some of the worst flooding and landslides in decades to Cambodia and Vietnam. We are working with our partners to assess the damage and provide shelter, food and sanitation kits to those in need.
COVID-19 Prevention
In India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal and the Philippines, we are distributing health educational materials and hosting awareness-raising sessions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We are providing food, sanitation and hygiene kits (including masks and hand sanitisers) to those most at risk.
When emergencies hit, we are on the ground with
Food, water and emergency shelter
Hygiene, PPE and sanitation kits
Medication and health services
Trauma support
We're in a unique position to assist communities before, during and after emergencies through our network of local partners and churches. But we can only continue this work with the help of generous people like you.
With your help, we can be there when crises hit, providing essentials for survival: food, water, sanitation supplies and shelter.
Please give what you can so that children, women and men receive the vital supplies they need to rebuild their lives.
Where does my donation go?
The funds raised through this appeal will be used to provide immediate and longer-term humanitarian assistance to communities affected by crises in Asia. If any funds remain after a crisis, or if there are changes in circumstances beyond our control which limit our ability to use the funds, they are kept in the Asia Emergency Appeal so that we can respond to ongoing needs and future crises in the region.
