BACKGROUND
Natural disasters are often the precursor to further disasters such as hunger, isolation, homelessness and even sexual exploitation. When natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and harsh weather conditions suddenly hit, people are unprepared and lack the supplies and resources to stay safe and alive.
In addition to being cut off from basic supplies such as shelter, food and water, people can also lose access to telephone and electricity services which deprives them of their ability to contact their families and services they may require.
OUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Youngistaan Foundation mobilizes on-ground volunteers to ensure that when natural disasters strike, we do what we can to meet the needs of the people most affected.
