Challenge

Extreme rainfall dumped more than a month's worth of rain in parts of central and eastern Europe, leading to the worst flooding in decades in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. Multiple towns and cities are submerged under water and thousands are without power. Officials are warning that flood surges from Storm Boris remain a threat to the Polish city of Nysa, the Czech town of Litovlje, and elsewhere where rain is still falling.

Solution

All donations to this fund will support Storm Boris relief and recovery. Initially, funding will help first responders meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. The fund will then transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run primarily by local, vetted organizations in affected regions across central Europe.

How Your Donation Will Be Used

When you donate to GlobalGiving's Storm Boris Relief Fund, your donation will be used to:

  • Food, shelter, and water
  • Medical and psychosocial support
  • Economic assistance
  • Long-term support for rebuilding and resilience-building efforts
  • And more

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
