Crisis and Disaster Response
War, political instability, and natural disasters like storms and COVID-19 upend lives.
The world’s disasters are increasing, exacerbated by global crises.
Our Crisis and Disaster Response helps child survivors and their families in the aftermath of disasters as well as communities that are exceptionally prone to disasters before they strike.
LEBANON CRISIS RESPONSE
Following the ceasefire in Lebanon, thousands of families are still unable to return to their homes due to the massive destruction of the infrastructure during the conflict resulting in limited access to essential services. Winter is setting in and displaced families are facing colder temperatures. Our team is on the ground to provide essential winter supplies, including blankets, heaters and warm clothing. You can partner us to help displaced children and families survive the winter.
Life Support In Protracted Crises
Help Children Living in the World's Most Dangerous Places Recover & Build A Future
Millions of children live amongst conflict, political unrest and ongoing instability. In these dangerous, conflict-torn places, situations can change quickly, frequently, and often in an instant. Children live on a knife-edge and suffer extreme levels of deprivation, abuse, exploitation, and violence, often for generations. Over 103 million people globally have been displaced, among whom more than 40% are children. Many were born into war and conflict. World Vision continues to standby our commitment to help these children living in protracted crises to survive and build some normalcy in their childhood to live on.
Afghanistan
Since the Taliban seized power, the economy has deteriorated to the point of total collapse. The pre-existing crisis, including drought, COVID-19, loss of livelihood, rising food prices, reduced inflow remittances, together with the recent conflicts have driven the country into a humanitarian catastrophe. Almost 95% of the population is unable to access adequate food supplies. We are committed to improve the food security, strengthen health, WASH facilities and provide child protection services for at-risk children.
Bangladesh
The world's largest refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, is home to one million Rohingya refugees, half of whom are children. More than 30,000 children are born in the camp every year with no safe place to live, food to eat, or opportunity to learn. In a bid to ease the congestion, 32,000 Rohingya refugees have been relocated to an offshore island of Bangladesh, known as Bhasan Char. World Vision is providing child-friendly spaces that will offer holistic support in child protection, education and nutrition for Rohingya child refugees.
Philippines
Five years on from the Marawi Siege, the armed conflict between the government forces and militants in Marawi, many families are still living in transitional shelters and host communities that lack necessary services for health, education, water and food. Poverty abounds and tension remains high as outlawed armed groups continue to persist. World Vision is promoting peacebuilding for children, improving access to education, health and nutrition services, and child protection programmes in schools.
We work with communities to fight climate change to combat natural disasters as well as develop disaster preparedness plans that map out local threats and identify how to save lives and protect property.
Within 24 to 72 hours of the disaster, our global rapid response team is on the ground, making assessments and beginning to provide emergency relief.
We help families stabilise in the long-term by establishing permanent housing, sustainable clean water, food security, access to quality education and healthcare, and recovery loans to rebuild livelihoods and restore children's sense of security.
Your monthly giving will ensure that children can receive timely aid in times of disasters.
World Vision works in hardest-to-reach places, responding with life-saving speed when disaster strikes.
