When disasters strike

Email Print PDF

Every year the world brings disasters, both manmade and natural. Unfortunately we cannot prevent disasters from happening, but we can assist those affected and help in disaster risk reduction. The right help at the right time can save hundreds of thousands of people.

Aid is given through our local partner organizations and agencies we work with. It is the policy of Star of Hope International America that the organization does not advocate, support or practice unlawful discrimination based on race, religion, age, national origin, language, sex, sexual preference, or physical handicap.

Additionally in matters of disaster response we have signed the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non-Governmental Organizations in Disaster Relief, which in part reads:

"Aid is given regardless of the race, creed or nationality of the recipients and without adverse distinction of any kind. Aid priorities are calculated on the basis of need alone."

Corruption resisted consistently by strict agreements with our partners. Our efforts are characterized by long-term responsibility. Many of the projects we currently support have started with a disaster response.

Our emergency relief programs provide desperately needed assistance to victims of natural and manmade disasters. Our efforts are concentrated in the localities where we have a working presence which allows us to quickly and efficiently come to the aid of those in need.

Does Sponsorship really work?

Yes, it does! The vast majority of our sponsored children finish primary school and many go on to higher education. In the process, you as a sponsor are extremely important! With your gift you are not only giving material support, you show that you care, this caring increases the children's self-esteem tremendously. The children and their parents get hope that we can change a seemingly hopeless situation.

You can read about some former sponsored children who now live a completely different lives than they would have; without sponsor support.

Here you can find the big list of questions and answers.
