GOAL
 United Kingdom  |  Humanitarian Aid

To work towards ensuring that the poorest of the poor and most vulnerable in our world and those affected by humanitarian crises have access to the fundamental needs and rights of life, such as food, water, shelter, medical attention and literacy.

GOAL is an international humanitarian agency dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the poorest of the poor. Since its inception, GOAL has spent in excess of £530 million on humanitarian programmes in almost fifty countries. Over 1,500 GOALies and many thousands of local staff have worked in the developing world on GOAL’s behalf and the organisation has responded to every major humanitarian disaster since 1977. In the event of a humanitarian crisis, the primary focus of our emergency response teams is to get life-saving assistance as soon as possible to those directly affected and most in need. We ensure as far as possible that they are provided with the basic requirements of life: water, food, shelter, medicine and necessary healthcare. Once an emergency situation begins to improve, GOAL will initiate whatever rehabilitation programmes are needed. We work where possible with communities and local NGOs on fixed water sites and sanitation projects, and on food distribution and healthcare programmes. If required, we will start to (re-) build roads, bridges, houses, schools, hospitals and healthcare clinics.
