Refugees, families displaced from their homes, and the people we serve in the world’s most fragile settings will be hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus has officially reached all of the sixteen countries where Relief International works. Our teams are on the frontline every day, responding to outbreaks in the world’s most fragile settings.
Relief International began partnering with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2007. Together, our work aims to support our local partners on their path to self-reliance. We do so by addressing the causes and consequences of fragility, which often include conflict, violence, underdevelopment, and disaster.
The Philippines is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, containing 70% of the world’s plants and animal species due to its geographic isolation. However, the country’s natural resources are under great threat from harmful human activities.
