About Us
Transforming Lives with Compassion
At Crisis Aid, we are more than just a registered charity; we are a beacon of hope, compassion, and transformation. Established in 2005 in response to the devastating earthquake in northern Pakistan, Crisis Aid has evolved into a passionate group of sincere and caring humanitarians, committed to alleviating the suffering of the world's less fortunate.
Our Inspirational Journey
The seeds of Crisis Aid were sown in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake, where a group of friends from Luton, England, came together to make a difference. Witnessing the plight of those affected, our founders initiated a community organization that would soon become a symbol of hope. Volunteers from Luton ventured to Northern Pakistan, delivering emergency supplies to the injured and displaced, marking the birth of Crisis Aid.
