We provide fast emergency assistance by supplying water filters, hygiene kits, medicine, tools, food or cash grants. But we also support people in the long term with health, shelter, reconstruction projects and preparation trainings. Besides emergency relief, it is our objective to sustainably strengthen people and structures so that they are better prepared for crises. Disaster preparedness exercises, an early warning system, a functioning rescue service all these factors can save lives when, for example, the next flood or a cyclone approaches. In long term development cooperation, disaster preparedness, health, nutrition, water, hygiene and securing livelihoods are paramount.
