Help for people in need
When crises or natural disasters upend people's lives, your donation provides quick and efficient aid. It pays for concrete support, such as a roof over their heads or a warm meal for those who need it most – in Switzerland and abroad. Together, we alleviate suffering, prevent disasters and improve living conditions for vulnerable people in the long term.
Your donation does so much
Whenever disaster strikes, your donation enables us to help the victims quickly. Thanks to your contribution to our work, our rapid response teams can be deployed immediately to provide vital relief supplies, drinking water and emergency shelters.
Your donation also helps us provide preventative measures: our disaster prevention and preparedness programme enables the local population to protect themselves from unforeseen events and respond quickly to them when they do occur.
Our work is carried out in cooperation with local partners and respect for humanitarian principles. Your solidarity makes this help possible.
Fast, efficient help when disaster strikes
Climate change is causing more and more extreme weather events. Torrential rainfall floods entire regions. People suffer from devastating droughts. Harvests fail and food often becomes scarce. Hurricanes cause people to lose their homes. Earthquakes also cause huge destruction. Such events hit vulnerable people particularly hard.
Thanks to your support, we can help relieve these people’s suffering.
In 2024, for example, we provided flood victims in Switzerland with crucial assistance. A Swiss Red Cross rapid response team was deployed in the Caribbean to support the local teams in the wake of Hurricane Beryl.
Your generosity is still vital, so that we can continue reacting to such emergencies and provide the victims with vital help.
Your donation counts
