Disaster Response Fund

In the wake of a crisis, it is children who suffer most. World Vision stands ready to protect them by delivering crucial assistance within 24 to 72 hours of a disaster. When Haiti was struck by the most devastating earthquake in more than 200 years, World Vision was able to begin distributing life-saving relief supplies within hours. Your gift to World Vision's Disaster Response Fund will help us prepare for and respond to disasters around the world.

Our thousands of staff, spread across nearly 100 countries, are committed to helping children and families rebuild their lives and communities after a disaster. In 2009, World Vision responded to dozens of humanitarian emergencies around the world, including:

• The deadly typhoon in the Philippines
• The cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe
• A massive earthquake in Indonesia
• Severe flooding in India
• The humanitarian crisis in Sudan
• An ongoing food crisis in the Horn of Africa

World Vision urgently needs your support to help children and families suffering from disasters around the world, including earthquake survivors in Haiti. Your donation of any size will help us rush life-saving emergency supplies like food, water, blankets, and shelter to those who need it most. We are often one of the first organizations to begin relief work after a disaster, and we remain on the ground for the long haul, rebuilding communities and restoring hope.
