The Indian Ocean Tsunami devastated coastal communities in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India in 2004, killing over 170,000 people in Aceh, Indonesia alone. CAFOD and its partners provided emergency relief and long-term support to help communities recover and rebuild. This included distributing emergency shelter and supplies, rebuilding homes and infrastructure like schools, and establishing livelihood programs to help people earn incomes again through loans, job training, and small business startups. Six months after the tsunami, families were still being provided temporary shelter until permanent housing could be rebuilt, and communities worked to prevent future disasters through emergency planning.
The document requests that readers keep the people of Darfur in their thoughts and prayers. It includes two photo credits to Mohammed Noureldin / ACT-Caritas and Paul Jeffrey / ACT-Caritas, suggesting the photos are related to the humanitarian crisis in Darfur.
Cafod has responded to numerous humanitarian crises around the world in recent years, providing food, water, shelter and other assistance to millions of people affected by disasters such as droughts, floods, typhoons and food shortages. This has included over 250,000 people in East Africa during a 2011 drought, families displaced by flooding in El Salvador and over 20,000 who lost homes to Typhoon Washi in the Philippines. Cafod aims to provide both immediate relief and long-term support to help communities become self-reliant after crises.
The floods in Pakistan in 2010 affected 18 million people, destroying homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Over the past two years, aid organizations worked to provide emergency relief through food, water, and shelter. Long-term efforts focused on rebuilding communities by constructing new homes, cleaning schools, rebuilding infrastructure, and providing cash-for-work programs. Support now aims to help vulnerable groups become self-sufficient again through activities like giving women goats to breed and sell or ensuring disabled people can live independently.

18 million people across West Africa are facing a severe food crisis as harvests failed in 2011 due to drought and pests, leaving many without food and with high food prices. Interviews with residents of Niger's Dosso Region illustrate the desperation, with children begging for food and grandparents afraid for the future. Relief efforts are operating health centers for malnourished children, distributing food, and providing cash-for-work programs on projects like water retention fields.
18 million people across West Africa are facing a severe food crisis due to failed harvests in 2011 from drought and pests. Villagers describe going hungry and not having enough food to feed their children. Many people have been forced to flee their villages due to lack of food or conflict. One man and his nine children now live in a makeshift shelter in Niger's capital due to the food shortage. Aid organizations are working to address the crisis by operating health centers, distributing food, creating job programs, and providing supplies to displaced people.
Over 8,000 people from across the country and beyond came together on March 24, 2012 at Wembley Arena in London to celebrate sport, friendship, faith, and excellence at an event called Flame 2012. The gathering was a celebration of community and inspiration that encouraged attendees to keep sharing the spirit of the event with others.
Thousands of refugees from Mali have crossed the border into Niger due to conflict, greatly increasing the population of Sinegodar village and overwhelming its limited resources. Most refugees have no shelter and sleep outside, sharing the village's single, unsafe water well among over 8,000 people. The village has just one nurse and no medicine, endangering the lives of newborn babies. While villagers are welcoming refugees, the region is extremely poor and faces hunger, requiring emergency aid including shelter, water, and medical care.
The powerful earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 killed over 230,000 people and left millions homeless. In the aftermath, donations helped provide emergency shelter, water, and sanitation for thousands of people living in displacement camps. While challenges remain due to the destruction of infrastructure and land records, organizations continue efforts to build earthquake-resistant housing and help farmers reduce future disaster risks, with the goal of ensuring people in Haiti can live with dignity.
The document summarizes the aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the relief efforts that followed. It discusses how over 230,000 people were killed by the earthquake that destroyed most government buildings. It then outlines how funds raised by the organization were used to provide emergency shelter, hygiene facilities, and safe drinking water to thousands of affected people. It highlights ongoing work to build earthquake-resistant homes and help farmers reduce future disaster risks, noting that recovery will take many years.
In the six months since launching an East Africa Crisis appeal, over £4.7 million was raised to help over 250,000 people affected by the worst drought in living memory across Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan. Emergency relief was provided to over 13 million people, including food or nutritional support to over 200,000 and clean water access for over 180,000 through well drilling and water source improvements. Cash-for-work schemes also helped people earn money for food and community improvements. While November rains helped in most areas and aid is making a difference, critical food shortages remain in many locations.
Typhoon Washi hit Mindanao island in the southern Philippines in December 2011, causing devastating floods and landslides that killed almost 1,000 people and widespread damage to homes and farms. Relief teams hiked down impassable roads to reach remote villages along the Mandulog River that had been swept away by the floods. Villagers stood by the remains of their homes, with some having only a single sheet that survived, as crops and coconut and banana farms near the river were also partially destroyed. People's immediate needs included temporary shelter, building materials, tools, food and improved access to water as relief organizations pledged funds to support remote communities as they rebuild.

Pakistan experienced devastating floods in 2011 that affected over 20 million people. The floods were caused by heavy monsoon rains in late July and August, with the worst flooding occurring in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab.

This Harvest Fast Day aim high in your fundraising to help young people living in poverty. Check out Abdi’s story below, and use our resources below to help you get involved to help make a difference:
Kabery is a 12-year-old girl from Bangladesh whose dream is to finish school and become a nurse. She lives with her family, who farms land that is often damaged by flooding and cyclones. CAFOD has helped Kabery's family start a vegetable garden and learn farming methods to grow crops in salty soil, which has helped provide income for Kabery to continue her education. Kabery hopes to one day live in a more fair and just world where all children can go to school.
In July 2010, exceptional monsoon rains in northern Pakistan caused heavy flooding that affected over 18 million people, more than other major natural disasters combined. The floods covered one-fifth of the country and displaced hundreds of thousands who are still in need of permanent shelter. NGOs provided emergency and long-term assistance including shelter kits, water purification tablets, hygiene training, and goats to help families recover and become self-sufficient again.
Hundreds of thousands of animals and some people have died in East Africa due to a severe drought over the past three years. Pastoralists who rely on their livestock as their primary source of income and food have been hardest hit, traveling long distances in search of water and grazing land for their animals. Without rains expected by September, more people may perish from lack of food and water-borne illness. The situation requires increased emergency aid for food, water, and medical relief for the millions of vulnerable people across the region.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
