Women at the front lines of Ebola response
On World Humanitarian Day, we honored women humanitarians who are often the first to respond to emergencies and the last to leave. They are our unsung heroes, putting the health and safety of their communities above their own.

Millions seeking safety - your help needed
After 8 years of violent conflict, millions of Syrians have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety. For far too many refugees, the prospect of returning home is still a distant dream.
Your support allows us to provide essential supplies like clean drinking water and hygiene facilities to families who have been driven from their homes. And here in the US, we're working to prevent any attempt by the Trump administration to completely shut down the refugee resettlement program, which would put lives in danger.
Please, friend: At a time when refugees are forced to leave everything behind to seek safety, we need to do everything we can as a community to lend support. Make an urgent contribution today, and your gift will support refugees and fight poverty in more than 90 countries around the world.
