ABOUT MEDAIR:
Medair is a humanitarian organization inspired by Christian faith to relieve human suffering in some of the world's most remote and devastated places. We bring relief and recovery to people in crisis, regardless of race, creed or nationality. Medair is committed to humanitarian action with empowerment. Last year, the organization helped more than 1.6 million people in: Afghanistan, DR Congo, Ecuador, Haiti, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Madagascar, Myanmar, Nepal, Somalia, South Sudan and Syria.
As signatories of the International Committee of the Red Cross Code of Conduct, we believe that aid should be given to everyone who is in need, and not be used to further a particular political, social, or religious viewpoint. Our first and last considerations are the needs of the people we serve.
We save lives in emergencies and then stay to help people recover from crises with dignity—working side by side with communities to leave a lasting impact. We do whatever it takes to bring relief where it's needed the most. We provide a range of emergency relief and recovery services: health care and nutrition, safe water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter and infrastructure.
In all we do, we pursue the highest professional standards of quality, accountability, and sustainability. Our experienced teams carry out our projects in close connection with communities, listening to their needs, helping them improve their essential services, and providing them with training for the future.
