The Family Care Foundation
In addition to its other grassroots efforts to help family and children around the world, The Family Care Foundation (FCF) provides humanitarian services and support in developing countries. Responding to local emergencies, FCF and partners manage extensive emergency services and relief activities at disaster sites. Some of the international disasters to which the Family Care Foundation has responded are the earthquakes in India, El Salvador, Turkey, Colombia, and Taiwan; Hurricane Mitch in Central America; flooding in India and Mexico; and the US Embassy bombing in Kenya.
The FCF emphasizes extensive follow-up, often in close cooperation with various government agencies. For more information on Family Care Foundation's relief services and other programs, visit www.familycare.org.
The International Rescue Committee
At work in 25 countries, the IRC delivers emergency aid, rebuilds disrupted communities, cares for war-traumatized children, rehabilitates infrastructure, reunites families, establishes schools, trains teachers, strengthens the capacity of local organizations, and supports civil society and good-governance initiatives in places affected by war and disaster.
For refugees afforded sanctuary in the United States, the International Rescue Committee's offices provide assistance aimed at helping new arrivals get settled, adjust and acquire the skills to become self-sufficient. For more information about how the IRC operates, and how you can contribute to its efforts to restore dignity and self-reliance, visit www.theirc.org.
CARE
CARE attempts to look beyond the symptoms of poverty to confront its underlying causes. CARE's programs serve individuals and families in the poorest communities in the world, facilitating lasting change for them through strengthening people's capacity for self-help, providing economic opportunities, delivering relief in emergencies, influencing policy decisions and addressing discrimination.
