Disaster & Refugee Relief

When disaster strikes around the world, we mobilize commodity shipments filled with emergency food, water, shelter, clothing and medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. World Children's Fund has rushed supplies to families and children around the globe who are victims of tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wars and civil conflict. Our missions are aimed at improving the quality of life for vulnerable groups, including refugees, displaced persons and children orphaned through disasters and civil strife.
