Trust & Foundations: Partnering together for positive change
We rely on your generosity to drive positive change in communities worldwide. Partnerships with trusts and foundations help us provide life-saving support and supplies to communities affected by disease, disaster and conflict, and enable sustainable, long-term solutions to increase their resilience.
Why partner with Medair?
We go the extra mile to help people in need, wherever they are.
We go where others don't to reach people impacted by emergencies and crises so they can live in dignity, free from human suffering, and with hope for a better future.
Since 1989, Medair has provided life-saving humanitarian assistance to more than 53 million people in 43 crisis-affected countries. When emergencies happen, we move fast to bring relief then stay to help communities recover – working side-by-side with people to find the solutions that are best for them.

Our partners driving positive change
Saving lives and rebuilding together
You choose the impact you wish to make by partnering with us for a specific project, country, or cause. We have projects that specifically address vulnerable communities’ needs for health, nutrition, shelter, safe water (WASH), and disaster risk reduction.
Discover some of our current projects
Healthcare and nutrition services for communities in DR Congo
Recurring conflict in eastern DR Congo is displacing entire communities and depriving them of essential healthcare and nutrition services. Our comprehensive, multi-prong project provides a solution to this critical gap. Your partnership can help build new health facilities; improve water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services at existing healthcare facilities; and establish community gardens to combat child malnutrition.
Building communities’ resilience in South Sudan
Prolonged conflict, rapid displacement, and recurring climate shocks have left communities in South Sudan unable to access their most basic needs for food, shelter, and water. That’s why our Emergency Response Team is committed to providing urgent health and nutrition assistance that prevent disease outbreaks and treat acute malnutrition, and to improving people’s access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions.
Using art to improve mental health and wellbeing in Lebanon
Access to mental health and psychosocial support is as essential as other services to people who have endured the trauma of conflict, displacement, and compounding crises. Medair is currently addressing the mental health needs of Syrian refugees and vulnerable families in Lebanon through a unique partnership with Artolution. Your partnership can help bring healing and hope to more communities affected by crisis.

CEO BLOG: Why DR Congo matters
Medair works in coordination with the Congolese Ministry of Health and other humanitarian agencies to provide life-sustaining services to people displaced from their homes, and to the communities that receive them. The work I saw our teams doing on the ground reminded me that, despite the immensity of the challenge, hope remains.

Deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Humanitarian needs have reached a new high in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Mid-June, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee – The UN’s highest-level humanitarian coordination forum – activated the “scale up” of humanitarian operations in the country. But international NGOs are already concerned that it will be insufficient to address the multiplicity of crises facing the country.
