The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world.
We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.
One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty.
Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.
In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.

WaterAid is an international non-profit with one goal: to change the world through water. Along with decent toilets and good hygiene, a reliable supply of clean water is essential for health, dignity and a life full of opportunity. Childbirth is safer, children
get the chance to grow up healthy and strong. Families thrive and whole communities are better prepared for our changing climate and whatever the future holds.
We started out in 1981, when UK water companies created a single organisation dedicated to tackling the global water crisis.
Today we work alongside communities worldwide setting up entire systems that deliver clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene for millions. And we get the people, policies and money in place to keep these systems working – and the water flowing
for good. So that people have safe, reliable services that last.
Our work with communities, partners, allies and supporters has already meant millions of people can shape their own future with
dignity and confidence.
To drive lasting change on a global scale and faster than ever, we get others to step up and play their part:
- Partnering with communities to build systems that work for them.
- Connecting policy makers, experts, local partners and communities.
- Innovating, learning, modelling solutions and sharing good practice.
- Changing attitudes and behaviours.
- Rallying support from people and organisations around the world.
- Working with decision makers to scale up investment and accelerate progress.
Together with our partners and supporters, we are working with determination towards the day when we are no longer needed.
