Across the world we bring hope and compassion to poor communities, standing side by side with them to end poverty and injustice.

Your donations help DEC charities save lives in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. But then the work to rebuild communities shattered by catastrophe begins.

We are committed to ending extreme poverty, whatever it takes. We work together with people living in the most difficult situations, to bring about lasting change to lives, livelihoods and communities.
