It has benefited individuals and families adversely affected by the Libyan revolution and other events in the Arab Spring, which caused many Egyptians working abroad to lose their employment and return to their home villages. The project involved cleaning the village, reconstructing homes and improving the local quality of life. All three men worked in Libya before the revolution there.

  • A street scene in the Suburban neighborhood of Rodriguez, Rizal, in the Philippines. The man is painting letters on a truck while the woman is cleaning up trash. Most of the community's families were relocated here from other area of Manila and the nearby countryside to make way for urban renewal projects or to move them out of harm's way. Yet the new community was hit hard by Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, and Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, provided emergency relief supplies. Over the years since, with help from Christian Aid and other groups, community members have organized themselves and engaged in a process of disaster risk reduction, including identifying and mapping high-risk zones and evacuation routes in their area. Christian Aid has also assisted with financial and technical support for income generating livelihood projects and community enterprises.
