Campaign

Some humanitarian crises grab headlines and mobilize donor support. But tragically, other equally catastrophic crises remain nearly invisible. Crises like those now occurring in the DR Congo, Chad, Sudan, and Yemen, where the need is truly cataclysmic.

Some of our long-standing programs helping the forgotten may end or be drastically cut unless giving to Medair increases. We urgently need your help! Learn more and give today.

By faith we pray for wisdom when facing difficult decisions, and for courage to live and work in demanding and often dangerous situations.
