UnitingWorld stands in solidarity with our Church Partners in Africa, Asia and the Pacific in times of emergency and natural disaster.

We assist local communities by providing immediate emergency relief to address urgent needs. Longer term development programs assist local communities to get back on their feet during and after times of disaster and destruction.

Other emergencies

As UnitingWorld works through international Church Partners of the Uniting Church in Australia, we are unable to respond to every emergency. We request that you support other emergency responses through other international development agencies that we work closely with.
