Direct Relief

Direct Relief is a nonprofit that delivers medical aid to people and communities in emergencies and in ongoing health gaps. It describes itself as nongovernmental, nonsectarian, and independent of political, religious, or ethnic tests for who receives help. Work includes disaster response and longer efforts around maternal health, health equity, and reliable power for care.

The organization supplies medicines and emergency medical packs and partners with health facilities rather than setting up a parallel hospital system. Its public standard is that assistance should follow need.
