Donate to the Swiss Red Cross disaster relief
The Swiss Red Cross (SRC) provides rapid emergency relief following disasters. In Switzerland, the SRC supports people who get into financial distress after a natural disaster in cases of hardship. By donating, you will facilitate emergency relief in the wake of natural disasters and crises. You will enable drinking water, food, emergency accommodation, medical care and disaster prevention to be provided.
Emergency and disaster relief missions of the SRC
Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intensive due to climate change. Natural disasters are consequently causing severe damage and robbing those affected of their livelihoods. Crises, conflicts and outbreaks of violence also cause enormous human suffering. The SRC is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It supports emergency relief throughout the world and provides humanitarian aid.
