Many of your newsfeeds are filled with tragic images of how the earthquake in Morocco has affected huge swathes of the country, and now, catastrophic floods have destroyed thousands of lives and livelihoods in Libya. A gift this week and in the future can provide additional resources to relief agencies supporting emergency and recovery response efforts in both countries. Here are some international disaster relief nonprofits you can give to now that can mobilize resources rapidly to meet the ongoing challenges and needs of survivors.
CARE provides emergency humanitarian assistance around the world, prioritizing the well-being, rights, and recovery of girls, women, and families.
Center for Disaster Philanthropy focuses on medium- and long-term recovery needs, such as rebuilding homes and livelihoods, providing mental health services, and supporting the unique needs of communities and marginalized populations as they recover.
Doctors Without Borders brings independent medical humanitarian care to people affected by conflict, disasters, epidemics, and social exclusion in more than 70 countries.
Global Giving raises donations globally to deploy quickly to local organizations delivering aid on the ground.
