When disaster strikes, the worlds poorest people struggle to survive. Our emergency responders are able to be on the ground within days sometimes even hours helping people survive and rebuild lives after natural disasters and emergency situations.

War, famine, disease, poverty & climate change have immobilised communities in Myanmar, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, Indonesia and East Africa, and Penny Appeal need your support to be able to deploy life-saving medical aid, food, clothing, sanitation and shelter to those who've been left incredibly vulnerable.
