EMERGENCY RESPONSE
For over 40 years, we have responded to communities facing conflict, natural disasters and economic crises across the world.
Our efforts focus on both short-term interventions and long-term rehabilitation. In addition to emergency relief, we empower communities through collaborative, sustainable development. This year, we assisted 1,378,837 people in crisis around the world.

EMERGENCY
RESPONSE
At IDRF, we incorporate best practices in emergency programming by prioritizing sustainability through our Respond, Rebuild, Recover, Resilience implementation process.
SUDAN EMERGENCY RESPONSE
It has been over two years since the war in Sudan began. Since April 2023, more than 11 million people have been internally displaced, with millions more forced to flee beyond the country.
IDRF’s 22-year history in Sudan and extensive network of trusted local partners enabled us to respond immediately. IDRF has supported thousands of Sudanese with food assistance and non-food items, which include tents, hygiene kits, and water filtration units. We have also reached families who have fled to neighbouring countries, such as Chad, through emergency water and food aid support. None of these interventions would be possible without our community of donors who choose to not look away and assist people enduring one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD SECURITY
An estimated 8.2 percent of the global population, or about 673 million people, experienced hunger in 2024.
Global food insecurity is driven by compounding factors, including rising inflation, conflict, climate change, and economic instability. Our goal is to develop sustainable food systems, in addition to providing urgent relief to families in dire need. This year, 1,145,503 people received food assistance through IDRF’s food security programs.

WATER FOR ALL
Amid increasing water shortages, we are working to provide sustainable, efficient water sources to communities across the world.
Water scarcity disproportionately affects women and girls who are often responsible for travelling long distances to collect water. Global conflict and climate change are contributing to worsening water shortages globally. This year, we provided 1,689,958 people with access to clean water and hygiene-related services.
