World Humanitarian Day Fund

About

World Humanitarian Day, recognized each year on August 19th, honors humanitarian aid workers for their bravery and sacrifice when providing relief to those in need. Humanitarian relief workers are often exposed to dangerous environments and harsh conditions when providing relief in an effort to ensure the wellness of our world's most vulnerable and reducing suffering, putting their own safety at risk to do so. The following organizations provide humanitarian relief in a multitude of ways to communities around the globe experiencing a crisis. Your donation to this Fund will help these organizations, and the humanitarians who represent them, continue their mission of providing relief to communities impacted by war, poverty, disaster, hunger, illness, and violence in an effort to create a safe and compassionate world for all.
