Emergency Relief
{loadposition article_list}
Irrespective of the nature of a disaster, precious lives and homes are often destroyed. Whether it is an unexpected natural disaster, or an on-going adversity caused by political instability, poverty or any other geographical factor; it is difficult for victims living in poverty to survive.
After a disaster strikes, World Vision responds immediately by launching short and long-term plans:
Short-term Plan
-
Provide food, water, tents, medical and other basic necessities required to meet the urgent needs of survivors
-
Provide psychological counselling for survivors in need to regain their confidence, and prepare them for any future challenge
Long-term Plan
-
Carry out rehabilitation projects in affected areas, helping people to regain their livelihoods and rebuild their communities
-
Plan for future response measures and mechanism in the most affected areas. This makes survivors more aware of disasters and could reduce casualties in future disasters.
