We save lives and relieve suffering.

In response to new confirmed cases of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Guinea, we are working with local ministries of health, leveraging our extensive experience and expertise in stopping the deadly virus, including during the 2014 West Africa Ebola epidemic—the world's largest.

In Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Yemen and Ethiopia, millions of people are at risk of starvation. In these countries, drought, increasing conflict and displacement have created a humanitarian crisis on a scale not seen in decades. In 2020, we screened more than 1.5 million children under 5 for malnutrition and treated more than 63,600 children for acute malnutrition.

Half of Syria’s population has been uprooted from their homes, fueling the largest displacement and refugee crisis since World War II. We reach people where they are, providing lifesaving healthcare, training and other services.

We provide midwifery training so that more moms and babies can have healthy pregnancies—and safe deliveries.

Our staff numbers more than 7,200 worldwide, with more than 90% recruited locally. Because our approach encompasses relief, recovery and resilience, training is an essential and consistent part of everything we do. Our strategy ensures that the knowledge required to prepare for future emergencies remains anchored in the communities we serve.

Training builds knowledge, instills confidence and fosters self-reliance.

We provided more than 5 million health consultations, more than 1.4 million of them for children under 5, as well as specialized treatment such as nutrition, mental health and psychosocial support, and other services.

Proper hygiene is a key ingredient to good health. We teach people how to prevent disease through good hygiene, while helping provide access to safe, sanitary conditions and clean water.
