Providing effective emergency aid together
If there is a disaster, Help reacts immediately. Depending on requirements, an emergency team consisting of doctors, nurses or fire fighters goes to the crisis region. In close collaboration with our alliance partners from Aktion Deutschland Hilft and the local partner organisations, we agree the emergency aid measures and find the most effective solutions.
As necessary, we supply the people affected with food, water, toiletries and tools - effectively and without any bureaucracy: the focus is on those affected. Help acts quickly and efficiently in acute emergency situations - with the knowledge that the countries concerned require development aid after the disaster.
Our emergency aid is converted into long-term aid. In line with our principle of "Assistance towards self-reliance" we do not leave people on their own after a disaster. We support them until they are able to look after themselves again.
