Emergency Response
RI provides emergency aid to victims of natural disasters and civil conflicts worldwide. Programs are developed with a focus on the most vulnerable segments of society, including the poor, women, and children, and are specifically implemented to translate from emergency relief to long-term development. RI is often the first U.S.-based agency to provide high-impact emergency programming to communities in need.
Health and Nutrition
RI addresses the many health and nutrition concerns of communities impacted by disaster or conflict. These concerns include both immediate and long-term needs: essential medicines, mobile medical clinics, food distribution, school feedings for children and agriculture programs.
Education and Global Connectivity
Education is vital to the social and economic integration of future generations. RI''s programs ensure that children can pursue their schooling and expand their economic opportunities. Programs emphasize computer education, Internet access, teacher training, and global exchanges.
Livelihoods and Food Security
RI works to stimulate and repair economies destroyed in countries ravaged by disaster or conflict. Essential components of economic development projects include: microcredit lending, creation of alternative livelihoods, and business training programs. Many projects are geared specifically for women, who are often the sole income providers for their families.
Shelter and Infrastructure
While disasters have a negative impact on people''s lives, they can also be an opportunity to rebuild damaged or sub-standard structures. RI implements holistic methods of reconstruction to build shelters, reconstruct municipal facilities and systems, and rehabilitate roads.
Civil Society, Protection and Capacity Building
RI is dedicated to promoting peace and human rights while addressing short- and long-term humanitarian needs. Our programs encourage positive social change and provide a safe environment for community development.
