Emergencies
Since Y Care International was founded we have supported communities in need at times of emergency.
The local knowledge of our partner YMCAs and their ability to mobilise quickly and effectively is invaluable in coordinating emergency responses. And through our partnership with ACT International we are able to respond to emergencies even if there is no YMCA operating close to the affected area.
Our work around the world to help people in emergencies has included:
