GIVING CODE: ACM1203

REGION: South America

South America is home to millions of people who live in a variety of settings, from the Andes Mountains to low-lying valleys and river basins. Diverse communities are exposed to natural disasters including flooding, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, and volcano eruptions. Impoverished communities living in river basins, flood plains, and remote areas are particularly at risk to natural disasters. When a disaster hits, families and individuals in affected areas need immediate assistance, including shelter, food, clean water, and household items.

During disasters, NCM partners with local churches as they walk alongside families and communities to meet needs on the road to recovery. Each emergency relief effort is organized locally with the support of the global church through prayer, giving, and technical support. The local church often partners with other organizations and local government agencies in order to best meet needs as well. Your gift to the South America Disaster Response Fund will enable local churches to strategically organize immediate relief and long-term rebuilding projects for communities affected by disasters.
