The DEC launched an appeal to help vulnerable communities in eight countries survive the Covid-19 pandemic. This appeal is now closed and all funds have been spent.

Two catastrophic earthquakes have hit Venezuela. Survivors urgently need support. DEC charities and local partners are there providing urgent aid. Please donate now.

We are closely monitoring a number of humanitarian disasters and assessing them against our criteria for launching an appeal. Often our member charities are responding to these crises already and we encourage people who wish to help to donate to them.
