Assisting Displaced Families in Iraq
Shelter and clean water are among the most critical needs of the millions of displaced Iraqi families who have been forced to flee their homes as a result of the ongoing violence. Relief International is working to meet these needs by installing water treatment facilities and rehabilitating buildings to make them habitable.

The Libraries Project
RI has been working with local communities in Afghanistan and Pakistan to support education and will now work to strengthen literacy through the creation of community-based libraries.

Sri Lanka Emergency
Recent escalating conflict in Sri Lanka has displaced more than 250,000 people, more than 40,000 of whom now live in squalid camps in the Vavuniya District of northern Sri Lanka. Relief International remains one of the few international humanitarian organizations with access to the camps. RI teams are providing life-saving aid, including distribution of essential items like hygiene kits, baby kits, blankets and cooking supplies to the most vulnerable. RI teams are also providing psycho-social services and counseling to children traumatized by violence.





Thanks to extraordinary supporters, the Pakistan Libraries Program event on March 1, 2009, raised enough funds to build another 400 libraries in Pakistan. Click here to learn more

Relief International in Pakistan
A powerful earthquake struck the India-Pakistan border on October 8, 2005. With a magnitude of 7.6 on the Richter scale, it was the worst natural disaster to hit the region in decades. As a result of the quake, more than 75,000 people were killed, 80,000 injured, and over 2.5 million people were left homeless. RI immediately deployed an emergency relief team to Pakistan within hours. While still in the emergency phases of the disaster, RI launched long-term recovery and restoration programs to help local people restore both their livelihoods and communities through shelter construction, provision of educational facilities and health programs
