When you link arms with Convoy of Hope to provide disaster relief or refugee support, hurting people receive the help and strength they need to get back on their feet. Convoy is committed to helping as much as possible, for as long as possible.

Highly regarded for scalable and effective distribution, Convoy is committed to being a positive force during crises. Convoy’s disaster relief strategy includes:

Preparedness & Mitigation
Convoy equips partners and volunteers around the world. Team members and volunteers are regularly trained in preparedness and resilience. Convoy of Hope equips each individual with the wisdom and skills they need to respond to a disaster. By doing this, communities sustain less damage and recover more quickly after a disaster.

Response
Response efforts vary depending on the nature of a disaster. After a disaster, Convoy equips national, state, and local partners with information and resources they need to provide immediate help. Often, that takes the form of distributing relief supplies like food, clean water, and hygiene kits.

Monitoring
From natural disasters to the ever-changing climate of conflict and economic situations, Convoy of Hope’s team is always monitoring crises around the world. By staying in contact with on-the-ground partners, Convoy gains a better understanding of situations and how to respond.

Recovery
Convoy of Hope’s goal is to help individuals and communities return to self-sustainability after a disaster. Depending on the need, Convoy organizes debris removal, leads cleanup efforts, distributes building materials, facilitates income generation projects, and conducts agricultural training. Each of these components help in the recovery process. In some situations, Convoy continues to work for months — or even years — to bring relief to those who are suffering.
