Disaster Risk Management - Programmes - Plan International Ireland

DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT – OUR GOAL

For children and young people to grow up safely in resilient communities and realize their right to protection and assistance in emergencies.

In times of disaster, children are particularly vulnerable. Separation from family and friends causes uncertainty, anxiety and shock, with a significant impact on children’s emotional well-being. Our disaster response work focuses on children’s urgent needs, such as food and water. We then prioritize child protection and education, to help re-establish a sense of security and normality.

Lake Chad Crisis

Almost seven years of violent conflict involving the group commonly known as Boko Haram and military operations to counter them has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis in the Lake Chad Basin region of West Africa.

Originating in Nigeria, the violence has spread to neighbouring countries and forced over 2.6 million people to flee their homes, abandon their farms and land.

Syrian Refugee Crisis

Humanitarian needs in Syria and the region have increased significantly since the beginning of the crisis, with 12.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, including more than 5.6 million children.

As of September 2016, there are close to 4.8 million Syrian refugees hosted in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt.

Almost 53% of them are children.

What makes Plan International different?

For more than 80 years we’ve been taking action and standing up for every child’s right to fulfil their potential. On a daily basis, our energy is devoted to making a difference for children living in poverty.

We stand up for children’s rights and promote equality for girls. We listen to the children we work with and find the best way forward together. We trust in what we do.

Our approach mixes the practical with the entrepreneurial.

We’re open, accountable and honest. We believe it’s important to share the impact of our work with the people who support us. We are different. We are Plan International.
