John,

With critical humanitarian aid at risk—and very much in the news right now—we wanted to share a guide with you, for navigating conversations with your friends and family about the tremendous need for humanitarian work.

As someone who cares deeply about refugees and families facing crisis, you're one of the best messengers to have these vital conversations.

THE POWER OF HUMANITARIAN AID

Guide: How to talk to your friends and family about why humanitarian aid matters >>

When people are at their most vulnerable, humanitarian aid is often the difference between survival and suffering, or even life and death.

✅ Humanitarian aid saves lives in critical moments, rushing in assistance—such as food, water, shelter and medical care—during emergencies like natural disasters, violent conflicts and displacement.

✅ Humanitarian aid restores dignity and hope. A meal, a safe place to sleep or access to medical care gives families the most basic foundation necessary to rebuild their lives.

✅ Humanitarian aid prevents escalation of crises. It creates ripple effects of stability across the world.

✅ Humanitarian aid is a moral imperative.

We hope you'll use this guide to facilitate productive and positive conversations and share important facts about humanitarian work. >>

No matter what challenges lie ahead, your kindness and generosity will always bring hope to those who need it most.

In these uncertain times, we cannot thank you enough for all that you do.
