Eleven aid organizations form the alliance "Development helps - together for people in need" in order to donate together in emergency and disaster situations. The alliance development helps is active worldwide; Its members promote development programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The ARD is the media partner for large disasters and crises.
The horror in view of the many reports of terror that reach us every day through the media is great. Governments, organizations and many individual people take responsibility worldwide. In addition to the alleviation of the acute need, the goal must also be the elimination of those circumstances that man defenselessly deliver the powers of natural disasters.
Natural disasters may be inevitable in many cases; The measure of the effects can be influenced and can be reduced. However, where war, human rights violations and poverty rule, where there is mismanagement and politics takes little care of the common good, people are most vulnerable due to natural disasters.
The alliance development helps support sustainable projects for people in disaster regions. It is important to not only plan reconstruction programs, but also to enforce long -term measures to combat poverty and to protect human rights. Without local partners, without the relevant participation of the people in the disaster areas, neither needs -based planning nor the later implementation of aid programs is possible. This long -term cooperation with local initiatives and support from local civil society is a license plate of the organizations of the Bündnis Development. Experience shows that the most effective help is the one that sustainably prevent the need.
