TRANSFORMATION
AND RESULTS
What happens in the wake of a disaster after the cameras leave and the emergency aid dollars dry up?
Most disaster relief funding goes to immediate relief, but recovery from major tragedies may take a decade or longer.
Aid Still Required's two-pronged “second responder” approach refocuses the spotlight on regions left behind after natural disasters and human crises.
-
ASR's expansive outreach campaigns return public awareness to forgotten issues.
-
ASR field programs foster self-reliance in the most neglected communities.
“Just because it left the headlines doesn’t mean it left the planet.”
In the first few days and weeks after a natural disaster or human crisis, the world reaches out to supply emergency medical services, food, water and shelter needed to save lives. But what happens when the media coverage fades and global attention drifts to other matters? What happens in particular to those communities that were already impoverished before the disaster and are now left behind in the recovery? As a global community, we may have saved lives… but have we created a new future?
Aid Still Required (ASR) shines the spotlight on these forgotten areas through extensive outreach campaigns and by creating innovative, custom-tailored field programs to engender dignity and self-sufficiency.
With the participation of world-renowned actors, musicians and athletes, ASR awareness campaigns have brought the stories of survivors in Haiti, Darfur, New Orleans and the region struck by the 2004 tsunami to more than 600 million people worldwide.
On the ground, in shantytowns and remote rural villages, Aid Still Required provides programs such as trauma relief for sexual assault survivors, enrichment curricula for at-risk kids, handicraft and small business training for women under Sharia Law, marine restoration to ravaged coasts, and agroforestry for farmers with depleted lands.
As a result, survivors in the hardest hit communities are given the tools to determine their own futures.
