In-Canada Emergency Response

Your gift will make a significant impact in the lives of people in Canada affected by disasters, offering solidarity and hope for those who have lost so much.

International Emergency Response

Your gift supports the International Emergency Relief work of PWRDF. Climate change causes droughts and natural disasters like flooding, hurricanes, and typhoons that destroy access to food and shelter. Often these occur in areas that affect the world’s most vulnerable populations. Through our partnerships, we can respond quickly and help those in urgent need. In many cases, funds are needed months after the immediate crises as families need to rebuild their lives and livelihood.

Sustainable partnerships for health, food security and human rights

Your gift supports the work of PWRDF and its partners in preventive health. Around the world many vulnerable communities are not equipped with the funds, capacity or tools to raise healthy children and ensure their future.
