By purchasing Gifts that save lives, you enable our aid workers to save lives in war-torn areas and humanitarian crises around the world.

Your support allows us to respond quickly when crises hit, reaching the most vulnerable in areas where there are few or no other aid organizations.

We are there where war is raging in Ukraine and Gaza, but we are also on the ground in countries like Sudan, Cameroon, and Mali. These are the neglected crises. Here, the need and suffering are just as great, but there are few aid organizations and a significant lack of funding to meet humanitarian needs.

Your gift helps us provide protection, clean water, food, shelter, and other essentials. You also ensure that children receive education and a safer everyday life.

We are completely dependent on private donors like you. By purchasing Gifts that save lives in our online store, you help provide lifesaving assistance to more displaced people.
