Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has been responding to large and small-scale disasters across the world, providing critical, life-saving assistance to victims of war, famine, natural disaster, poverty and disease. Samaritan’s Purse works with all agencies and organisations involved in disaster relief to provide an efficient, effective, coordinated response. Samaritan's Purse is well equipped to respond immediately to humanitarian crisis. Through our global network we have access to prepositioned emergency supplies that can be discharged swiftly to needy areas around the world.

HOW WE WORK

In disaster affected communities, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church to implement a locally led disaster recovery program utilising the resources of Samaritan’s Purse such as:
• a Site Management Team;
• tools, equipment and materials;

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Train to be part of a Site Management Team (SMT)

Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief is powered by men and women who give their time to help families and individuals impacted by disaster. A Site Management Team is a group of trained men and women who deploy to a disaster-affected area to assist a local community in a disaster affected area.

The role of the SMT is to:
• assist in implementing an efficient, effective, locally led disaster relief program;
• help coordinate local volunteers in providing practical assistance utilising the resources of Samaritan’s Purse.
