Program areas at Relief International
Multi-sectoral: some of Relief International's programs combine 2 or more of the existing sectors: health, wash (water sanitation, and hygiene), economic opportunity, and education. This is an integrated approach to ensure sustainable development.
Education: Relief International's education programs promote equitable access to safe, quality, and sustainable educational opportunities for vulnerable children and youth (females and males) to advance in their learning in emergencies, protracted Relief and recovery, and development settings. Community education and engagement encourages social cohesion and behavior change among children, youth, and their families to actively participate in the education process, their communities and lead productive lives promoting long-term wellbeing.
Health: strengthened primary healthcare systems create foundations for community resilience while promoting long-term health and wellbeing of vulnerable communities, their animals and environmental settings. Relief International's health sector delivers life-saving and life-improving services to children, women and men to increase their physical and mental wellbeing in emergencies, protracted Relief and recovery, and development settings. Ri's programs prevent disease and respond to trauma treat acute and chronic illnesses and injuries and promote healthy practices to support human physical and psychological development by addressing the causes and risks that limit human health, including integration with animal and environmental health issues which has a direct impact on human health.
Economic opportunity: Relief International creates and strengthens a sustainable, equitable, and resilient economic/livelihoods environment for vulnerable women and men in emergencies, protracted Relief and recovery, and development settings. Ri's programs increase jobs, incomes and assets by addressing the causes and risks that restrict access to economic opportunities. Ri incorporates disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and other risk reduction considerations to build resilience in the affected communities.
Other: Relief International also provides protection and emergency response services (including shelter, food items, non-food items, water, etc.) To populations facing sudden and slow onset disasters, both natural and man-made.
