You can create a brighter future for the world’s most vulnerable
Your gift in good hands
For more than 30 years, we have been bringing only the highest quality, sustainable aid to people in emergencies. More than 90% of our revenue goes directly towards delivering life-saving relief to those who need it most, and our work is regularly audited to ensure your donation is used as effectively and efficiently as possible.
A measurable impact
We monitor and evaluate the results of all our projects very closely. When you choose to financially support a project with us, you will receive an impact report (from USD 5,000.-, upon request) detailing the difference that project is making in people’s lives and their communities, including transparent financial figures.
An individualised approach
At Medair, we want to help you make the most of your giving. Whether it’s through our Women & Children’s Fund or another one of our main causes, one of our Relationship Managers will help you find the project(s) that best matches your philanthropic aspirations (from USD 5,000.-). We can also advise you on the tax-deductibility of your donation.

Emergency Relief
More disasters happen around the world and more people are affected by them than ever before—due to population growth, climate change, urbanisation, and environmental degradation.
In emergencies, we are ready to deploy within 24 hours to bring communities what is needed most—safe drinking water and sanitation, urgent health services, and protective shelters—while strengthening vulnerable communities and enabling them to be more resilient to future threats. These actions literally save lives.
Women
& Children
Women and children are affected differently by emergencies in ways that threaten their survival and dignity.
We provide intensive malnutrition treatment that nourishes and saves the lives of young children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, as well as teach communities healthier infant feeding practices to prevent malnutrition in the future.
Medair also strengthens local health clinics through training health clinic staff and providing them with essential medicines and supplies. We also support women in having safe childbirth and provide psychosocial support for survivors of sexual and gender based-violence.
Refugees
and displaced
people
Millions of people have lost their homes and livelihoods as the world struggles to cope with a massive displacement crisis.
We help people who flee their homes get access to all the things they need most—shelter and emergency household supplies, safe drinking water and sanitation, and medical care. Our main priorities are survival and safety.
With mental health being a large concern among refugees and displaced people, Medair also provides psychosocial support to address mental health issues and trauma. We also provide affected families with cash assistance, which preserves dignity by giving people the choice of how best to meet their most pressing needs.
Innovation in Aid
With resources limited, improving the way we work saves time and money, meaning more impact and less waste. By using innovative technologies, Medair is able to respond to crises more quickly, effectively, and with greater accountability than ever before. That means we can reach people faster and serve them better.
We invest in GIS (Geographical Information Systems) Mapping technology to identify unreached Syrian refugees in Lebanon, employ tablets and smart phones to collect survey data from the people we reach about their needs in a more efficient and accurate way, and use cloud-based solutions and online live dashboards that are connected to our data management tools so we can relay relevant information between our teams around the world, no matter how remote, in a more timely and efficient manner.
