Rebuilding Futures is an organization dedicated to providing
natural disaster relief efforts to low- and middle-income countries. We aim to
accomplish this by partnering up with The Red Cross and The United Nations to
develop a preparedness plan for disaster relief. With this, we plan to educate
and train the people so that they will be prepared and have the knowledge to
adequately respond to natural disasters they are prone to. Our goal is to
target low- and middle-income countries because 90% of natural disaster deaths
occur in these areas. Most deaths occur in these countries since they do not
have sufficient funds to support affected populations effectively.
Natural disasters
not only cause physical damages, but they can also cause health issues in the
affected population. Damages to infrastructures can leave civilians without
access to clean water and shelter. Food sources may become unavailable and
cause survivors to be malnourished. Affected populations are forced to move to crowded
camps, which are prone to the spread of communicable diseases like influenza,
malaria, and tuberculosis.
Our goal for Rebuilding
Futures will focus heavily on educating the government and locals about the importance
of being prepared. We plan to educate the workers that will be participating in
the relief so that they will have full knowledge of how to tackle the situation
and save the most lives, prevent illness, and prevent disability.
