At International Relief Teams, we take a two-pronged approach to humanitarian aid: we respond immediately to crises through trusted local partners, and we implement long-term programs that support low-income families. When disaster strikes, every minute matters. Through trusted partnerships, we quickly deliver food, medicine, and emergency relief to those in need. And when the immediate crisis passes, we return to help communities rebuild and recover.
Emergency aid is just the start. Through our Building Healthy Communities programs, we build homes, distribute essential medicines, and provide food to low-income families in the United States and across the globe. By providing the resources when people need them most, we help communities regain stability and build a stronger future.
Since 1988, International Relief Teams has provided life-saving assistance to families affected by disaster and poverty in 77 countries, delivering more than $723 million in humanitarian aid.
