Disasters lead to human and economic loss, and damages in infrastructure. Especially the effects of accelerating climate change escalate the frequency and magnitude of disasters, widening affected areas where we thought were once safe. Communities that do not have proper resources to prepare are the most vulnerable against disasters, and a great majority of victims are children, women, and the poor. Disasters recovery is critical but often neglected. Emergency support can enable people to overcome immediate problems, but increased vulnerabilities such as damaged infrastructures, broken livelihoods and collapsed safety nets bring about an another disaster. In the end, communities are not able to sustain themselves and will collapse.

Tens of millions of refugees who have left their homes due to natural disasters and conflicts have been scattered all over the world. The rights they deserve are not guaranteed, and even their lives are too often in danger. They lose hope in deprivation.
