Responding to Disaster

Every year conflict and natural disasters, like earthquakes, floods and drought, leave millions of people without food, water or a roof over their heads. When disaster strikes, SCIAF works with local partners, and through Caritas Internationalis - a global network of Catholic aid agencies - to immediately get help to those who need it most. We also provide long-term support to help communities recover, rebuild and get back on their feet.
