More frequent and ferocious climate emergencies are costing families their homes, livelihoods and even their lives. We must act now to help.  

Around the world, increasingly unpredictable storms are worsening poverty and putting families in danger. 

Husaini knows this all too well. A few years ago, a storm destroyed her family’s home. Luckily, everyone was unharmed. But a new wet season poses new dangers. That’s where you come in.

When people are prepared, they can act

Since connecting with Oxfam and our local partner organisation KONSEPSI, Husaini’s community no longer feels helpless as they wait for the next emergency.

Thanks to supporters like you, Husaini’s village was able to access training with our partners in Indonesia, so they’ll be prepared for a summer of tropical storms.

Ready to face what's ahead

For Husaini, it’s not just knowing the practical actions to take, it’s also the emotional relief that feeling prepared gives her. As well as training, Husaini received a cash transfer to buy emergency supplies. This financial aid enabled her to stock an emergency evacuation bag and purchase sandbags and non-perishable food.

Husaini says the training has made a huge difference.

“We were told how to prepare against disaster,” she told us. “We were taught what we must do when disaster happens. I already have [the emergency bag] for around a year. I have it at hand. I practiced it… We were told to prepare what we needed.”
