Campaign Story
Summary
A 6.2M earthquake has caused
significant damage in central Italy. Nearly 300 people have been killed.
The town of Amatrice is in ruins. Survivors need access to emergency
supplies like food, water, and medicine in addition to longer term
recovery assistance. All donations to this fund will exclusively support
locally driven relief and recovery efforts from this disaster.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Nearly
300 people were killed and hundreds displaced after a powerful
earthquake in Italy. Numerous buildings were damaged during the quake,
including homes, businesses, and hospitals. Several of GlobalGiving's
partners need help responding to survivors' immediate needs, and our
local nonprofit partners have also asked for help in funding their
relief and recovery efforts on the ground. We will post more details as
we have them.
How will this project solve this problem?
All
donations to this fund will support recovery and relief efforts in the
region. Initially, the fund will help first responders meet survivors'
immediate needs, such as food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and
shelter. Once initial relief work is complete, this fund will transition
to support longer-term recovery efforts run by vetted local
organizations.
Potential Long Term Impact
We believe that
organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are often in
the best position to provide long-term support for disaster victims. By
funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this
fund have the potential to build stronger disaster-response capacity so
that these organizations are better equipped to face future disasters.
GlobalGiving will post reports about how funds have been used and will
email these reports to donors and subscribers.
Help spread the word!
