Responding To Emergencies

Rise Against Hunger India remained steadfast in its mission to respond swiftly and compassionately to emergencies affecting vulnerable populations

When everyday access to food, wages, and market systems are destroyed in the wake of emergencies, Rise Against Hunger India works directly as well as through its field teams as well as its network of grassroots partners active on the ground to address these needs. We strive to ensure aid is efficiently and effectively deployed to and received by communities when it is needed most.
