Project description
We are raising $10 million for The Alliance Canada‘s Global Emergency Response Fund. Any amount helps make a difference but steady, consistent giving empowers The Alliance to be the hands and feet of Jesus in crisis situations.
To ensure that we are ready to help immediately, the Global Emergency Response Fund is an active emergency fund designated for relief and humanitarian aid for both natural and made-made disasters such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, and war.
This fund is used for the various stages of immediate relief, rehabilitation, recovery, and reconstruction. The priority for implementing relief programming is to resource and partner with local believers, a national church, when possible, or a local Christian relief agency.
