How We Provide Disaster Relief

In low-income countries where resources are already limited, disasters like this can cause immense devastation. Layered upon the challenges already brought on this year by COVID-19, impacted churches and families have a long road of recovery ahead.

Donating to the disaster relief fund is a tangible demonstration of the meaning of compassion. In times of disaster, children living in poverty are the most vulnerable and they need immediate help. Your donation will help a child recover physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Medical Care

Provide emergency medical supplies, sanitation needs and treatment coordination

Nutrition & Shelter

Supply emergency food and water, build or provide temporary shelters and replace household items and school supplies

Guidance & Support

Give comfort and hope through counseling for children after trauma

HOW DISASTER RELIEF SAVED CHILDREN AFTER SUPER TYPHOON

People in the Philippines are accustomed to strong storms, with an average of 10 typhoons hitting land each year. Super Typhoon Haiyan, however, would be anything but average.

This storm left more than 4,000 families of sponsored children without homes and without food. Compassion workers focused on relief first — immediate needs such as food and water. In the following months, Compassion focused on restoring lives with counseling, medical aid and income-generating assistance for families.

Because of donations to the Disaster Relief Fund, Compassion was able to help over 6,500 people in the months following Typhoon Haiyan. Your support to this fund means hope in the middle of the darkest storms!

Donate to Disaster Relief

Developing countries are often the world's most disaster-prone areas, and for many people, disaster relief funds are their only source of hope and recovery. Disasters and crisis are especially hard on children, who are more vulnerable than adults, so giving disaster relief through a child-focused organization like Compassion can be especially powerful. Children have little resources and no voice, so they are not able to recover from a disaster without your help.

Compassion's Disaster Relief fund provides children and their families with basic necessities like food, clean water, shelter, clothing, household items, and even medical care and trauma counseling.

Disaster relief and recovery is a long-term process, but Compassion's Disaster Relief program is helping children when they most desperately need it. It is a safety net for those living in countries with no other safety nets. Please donate today.
