Families Relief is an international humanitarian aid and development organisation based in London, UK. Established in 1994, we work directly in communities helping families and orphans become self-sustainable and lift themselves out of poverty and destitution. Families Relief’s primary work concerns looking after and supporting orphans and broken families where in most cases, a woman is left with a family to maintain on her own without a breadwinner. In order to give women the best chance to earn a living, we organise appropriate vocational training for women, which teaches them relevant skills to compete in the job market and find work. Many millions of children are orphaned as a result of disasters – natural or human made - economic and social distress, floods, earthquakes, wars and famines. These children now face a dismal life, where the chance of entering education and fulfilling their dreams is taken over by the struggle to find enough food to even fulfil their hunger.
