By choosing this option, our experts ensure your donations are directed to the areas of the greatest need, offering flexibility in addressing urgent and diverse challenges.

Not only do they allow us to provide life-saving assistance and care, but it also gives us the resources we need to accomplish our mission: eradicating the root causes of poverty worldwide.

With offices around the world, we work closely with local experts to determine where the need is greatest and tailor solutions that work best for communities.

Your contributions provide emergency relief in disaster and conflict-stricken countries, supporting education, health, and various other initiatives.

What is the 'Where Most Needed' fund?

The Where Most Needed Fund is a flexible, responsive fund designed to address ongoing humanitarian needs. Humanitarian challenges are constantly shifting, whether due to natural disasters, global conflicts, or other emergencies. Even though we have several funds including the Emergency Fund, Food Fund and others to support our work in specific areas, the Where Most Needed Fund is there to help when funds fall short. For example, if there is an immediate need to assist pregnant women in Mali and Niger, and there are not enough funds in our Motherkind Fund, the Where Most Needed Fund can come to our rescue. The fund can help support various projects including providing clean water to communities in need, supporting orphans, and covering other urgent costs. The fund ensures we can continue our work, addressing immediate needs when and if they arise.


Who does the Where Most Needed Fund help?

The Where Most Needed Fund assists individuals and communities facing urgent and ongoing crises in countries as diverse as Gaza, Yemen, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, Somalia and others.

Its flexibility enables us to quickly direct resources to areas of greatest need, whether in response to natural disasters, conflicts, or other emergencies.

In addition to immediate crisis relief, the fund supports livelihood programs, orphan sponsorships, and other vital initiatives that help improve long-term well being.
