  • When South Sudan's civil war spread to Malakal in late 2013, Rose Apol fled with her three children, walking through the bush for a month to arrive in Mundri, where she lives with a brother. She has survived thanks to the hospitality of her relatives and food and agricultural tools provided by the Mundri Relief and Development Association, which is supported by the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund. Here she gets her daughter Eunice ready for school in the morning.

  • When South Sudan's civil war spread to Malakal in late 2013, Alice Sura escaped from the fighting by taking refuge inside the United Nations base there with eight children--two of her own and six belonging to her relatives. Two days later, she was evacuated to Juba, and then came to Mundri, where she was born. She and the eight children have survived thanks to the hospitality of her relatives and food provided by the Mundri Relief and Development Association, which is supported by the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund. Here five of those children enjoy a meal that Sura, who is just 19, prepared for them.

  • Women line up for food being distributed by the United Nations World Food Program in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

  • A street scene in the Suburban neighborhood of Rodriguez, Rizal, in the Philippines. 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.

  • A woman walks through a portion of the Corail resettlement camp north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Residents of the camp, survivors of the devastating January 2010 earthquake, were relocated to the remote location from overcrowded tent cities for the homeless in the nation's capital. Yet shortly after its establishment, thousands of homeless families from around the capital region moved to the area and began constructing their simple homes around the edges of the official camp, creating a complex set of questions for camp managers. Seen under construction here are transitional homes--houses designed to get quake survivors into homes quickly, yet which residents will be expected to modify and improve in coming years. The United Methodist Committee on Relief, a member of the ACT Alliance, has built schools in the camp and is providing school furniture, teacher training, and educational materials for students.

  • A survivor of Haiti's devastating earthquake, Rosena Cheriben hangs laundry to dry in front of her new house in Leogane, south of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. The houses here were built with assistance from the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee, a member of the ACT Alliance.

The houses are built on the foundations of the residents' former homes, and are transitional--designed to be improved by residents as they are able. The houses have yet to receive their first coat of paint. CRWRC has also worked with community members on water and sanitation issues in response to the cholera outbreak, and is providing psycho-social support for residents as they rebuild their lives.

  • Habib Kamal Habib, Alae Adel Gabriel and Risk Sahata Alid El Masieh walk through the Egyptian village of Kafr Darwish with their brooms. The men's work of cleaning the village streets is part of a relief project sponsored by the ACT Alliance and carried out by Bless, the social development agency of the Coptic Orthodox Church. 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.
