Bringing Hope into Chaos
Turn on any television channel. Read any newspaper. It seems like every day we awake to a new crisis somewhere in the world. Global Aid Network is ready to mobilize resources when disaster strikes. Our network of offices in Canada, United States, Germany, Australia, Latvia, South Korea and Holland enables us to leverage each other’s distribution networks and respond quickly with needed emergency humanitarian aid. Partnering with like-minded NGOs in-country that show integrity and accountability synergizes an even greater impact in delivering this aid to the areas with the most critical needs. In addition to physical emergency needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, we can offer medical & counseling services in the face of trauma via our A.L.E.R.T. (Acts of Love Emergency Response Team) team of staff and volunteers.
