Our programmes

Disaster response fund

Emergency relief

Together, we can save lives and help communities rebuild.

Each year more than 30 million people flee their homes or lose their livelihoods as a result of conflict and natural disasters. We believe everyone has a right to a warm, safe and secure home – and we know you feel the same.

Push for change

If we use our collective power, we can make real the vision of a world without poverty, and shift the window of what’s politically possible. Together, we are tackling injustice by changing minds, systems and lives.
