We provide relief in crisis situations and address immediate needs for survival. We offer life-saving assistance, such as emergency shelter, water, food, and hygienic products, to make sure people are safe and properly protected.
Once the crisis is over, we stick around and help people return to their homes, where we strengthen their ability to anticipate, adapt and respond to future disasters.
Triple nexus
In our triple nexus approach, we link relief to rehabilitation, development and peacebuilding. We do this in collaboration with local partners, communities and other key actors. We enhance their capacities to respond to unfolding hazards and disasters in a timely and effective manner.
Our assistance complies with the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, independence and impartiality, and respects International Humanitarian Law.
Worldwide networks
Cordaid is an active member of various national and international networks, such as Caritas Internationalis, the ACT Alliance, the Dutch Relief Alliance (funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands), and Giro555 (a Dutch fundraising platform for major disaster relief). These networks allow us to respond timely and accurately to emergencies across the globe.
