What We Do
Provide emergency supplies
People who have been displaced or affected by natural disasters or manmade conflict are provided with shelter, clean water, food, and medical supplies through international and local partners, as well as donor support. Our teams often compliment the distribution of emergency supplies with trauma recovery training, so that both physical and mental emotional needs are prioritized and met in the immediate aftermath of a disaster event.
Rebuild and Repair
As emergency needs are met, our project teams work with villages to rebuild what they have lost. The recovery process is a long road. Through the provision of items such as new seeds and equipment to farm again, materials for construction of homes, livestock, and training to prepare for future disasters, families are uplifted and encouraged to repair for their future.
Disaster Preparedness
World Concern organizes Disaster Management Committees with community leaders in our project areas. These participants are tasked with mapping the area to identify safe locations in a disaster. Additionally, the committees train members of the community on disaster preparedness, which includes but is not limited to sessions on awareness raising, building safety kits with rations of non-perishable food and emergency supplies, developing an alert system, and sharing ways in which all members of the community can keep themselves safe or reach a safe location.
