Crisis and Disaster Response | World Vision Singapore

When a disaster or crisis strikes, World Vision adopts a “first-in, last-out” approach. Within 24 to 72 hours of the crisis or disaster, we first reach survivors with life-saving emergency aid, and then we stay for the long term to help children and families recover and rebuild their futures. We stand with them – before, during, and after crises and disasters.

Why It Matters

In the wake of conflict and natural disasters, lives can change in an instant.
Today, more than 473 million children are living in conflict zones, and natural disasters are hitting harder and more frequently due to climate change.

Behind every statistic is a child longing for safety, a family searching for hope.

But we cannot do it alone.
