WHERE WE WORK

MicroAid works anywhere in the world where there are natural disasters and people need our help. We go in after the emergency response and relief operations of other organizations have begun to wind down, and the world's attention has moved on.

MicroAid operates in areas where there are no social safety nets, no insurance programs, and no real government assistance. We help survivors of disasters who have nowhere else to turn.

MicroAid gives no-strings-attached hands-on assistance—rebuilding permanent homes and replacing tools of livelihood—to help people return to self-sufficiency.
