EMERGENCY FUND

Wars, floods, earthquakes, cyclones, epidemics, and conflicts have, in recent years, become distressingly frequent occurrences in our daily lives. This surge in humanitarian crises compels us to respond urgently with emergency appeals, highlighting the pressing need for intervention and support.

We have faced the challenges of the most serious humanitarian emergencies on our planet, offering relief to affected communities and working to help them rebuild their daily lives.

Even in humanitarian emergencies, our mission remains steadfast: to ensure access to education and prevent children and youth, already in a very vulnerable position, from seeing their futures put on hold.

In times of crisis, the risk of educational pathways being disrupted is particularly high, but we are actively working to prevent this from happening. Every effort is geared toward preserving the basic right to school, providing young people with tools to face challenges and build a better future.

The key to our immediate and timely engagement lies in our Lasallian Emergency Fund, which allows us to mobilize resources at the very moment an emergency erupts.
Your contribution to this fund is the driving force behind our capacity to be prepared and responsive in emergency situations, enabling us to assist those who need us the most!
