One of the DEC’s most inspiring fundraisers is Archie Douglas who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour eight years ago. Archie has now raised over £15,000 for the Disasters Emergency Committee’s work to provide life-saving relief for crisis-affected communities.

Here are some of the ways the £41 million raised by the DEC's appeal is helping people across Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe whose lives were devastated by Cyclone Idai.

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.

Find out how DEC funds were spent during the first six months of the Cyclone Idai response.

DEC charities are working around the world to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 in communities affected by poverty, drought and conflict.
