Saving LIVES, Saving SOULS 
& Changing FUTURES

Refuse To Do Nothing

We change futures by addressing critical human needs in the USA and Abroad.

At heart, helping in emergencies is foundational to everything we do. It’s where we began more than 20 years ago, and it’s still the operational doorway into the geographical regions we serve. We go where people need help the most, bringing hope and assistance wherever (and whenever) it’s needed.

We focus our support efforts on four essential human needs. These needs form the basis of everything we do, everywhere we do them.

Safety

from exploitation, abuse and trafficking.

Health

through obtainable medical care, modern facilities and clean water.

Food

that's both nutritious and nearby in poverty-stricken areas.

Community

structures designed to break generational struggles and patterns of poverty.

The Crisis Aid Model

  • We approach long-term recovery by creating sustainable solutions after a crisis.

    Once the immediate emergency needs in an area are addressed, our next step involves evaluating and identifying the long-term needs specific to that region. This evaluation takes into account the capabilities of local organizations and the potential impact our departure could have on the community.

Our continued involvement plays out in 3 ways:

Oftentimes, we hire local workers from the impacted areas and oversee the work being done.

When financial resources are severely lacking, we strategically invest back into the local economy.

In places like East Africa and parts of the U.S., we establish long-term operations to continue our service efforts.
