Our Code of Conduct » Crisis Aid

0333 305 5000

First and foremost, there is a humanitarian imperative.
Aid is distributed without regard to the beneficiaries' race, creed, or nationality, and without any discrimination of any kind. Priorities for aid are determined solely on the basis of need.
Aid will not be used to promote a specific political or religious position.
We will make every effort to avoid being used as instruments of government foreign policy.
We will adhere to cultural norms and customs.
We'll try to rely on local resources to respond to disasters.
Program beneficiaries will be involved in the management of relief aid in some way.
In addition to meeting basic needs, disaster relief efforts must strive to reduce future disaster vulnerabilities.
We hold ourselves accountable to those we seek to help as well as those who provide us with resources.
We will treat disaster victims as dignified human beings, not hopeless objects, in our information, publicity, and advertising efforts.
