                     What is the 
main role of 
NGOs in 
disaster 
management?
 
• NGOs in disaster management aim at bringing 
life-saving support in times of disaster. Their 
immediate response and recovery mechanisms 
help lessen the impact of the disasters. You 
can donate online and do your part in helping 
people through World Vision India a child-
focused humanitarian organization with 
expertise in disaster management.
• You can do your part in helping vulnerable people by partnering with this 
NGO in disaster management. You can partner with us and donate online.
• We are committed to long-term rehabilitation, helping communities affected by natural 
disasters or conflicts get back on their feet. Being an NGO in disaster management we 
also work to make vulnerable communities more resilient so that they can respond 
immediately if disasters occur. From the Gujarat Earthquake to the 2004 Tsunami, to the 
most recent Kerala floods and the Hurricane Amphan in May 2020 and the current Covid 
-19 pandemic, we’ve been there, responding to the immediate needs of those affected.
PREVENTING PEOPLES
World Vision India, an NGO in disaster management, 
has been integrating Community-Based DRR in all its 
programmes post Tsunami in December 2004. With 
our presence in 23 states and 3 union territories of 
the country, serving over 26 lakh children, it is our 
responsibility to build resilient communities.
We have been responding to the needs of 
communities affected by Cyclone Amphan in our 
projects in Kolkata and Bengal. These regions have 
already been reeling under the impact of the COVID-
19 pandemic, the cyclone has turned out to be an 
environmental catastrophe and a social disaster, 
making the rehabilitation process for both the 
disasters a lot harder. The devastating effects of both 
the disasters will result in development-deficit if 
communities are not provided timely assistance to 
restore and strengthen their traditional livelihoods.
As an NGO in disaster management, our Strategic 
mandate prioritizes building resilient communities 
through a four-pronged approach which addresses: 
managing disaster risks — natural, manmade and 
environmental and climate change context; Social 
vulnerabilities; Economic vulnerabilities and Beliefs 
and value system.
Our ultimate goal is aimed at preserving life, 
preventing and alleviating suffering and 
strengthening resilient communities affected by any 
kind of disaster including slow onset. Our Area 
Development Programmers (ADPs) aim is to ensure 
that vulnerable communities are able to recover 
better. We also reinforce the importance of 
coordinated and effective mental health responding 
during emergencies.
SOCIAL RESPONSE
Through COVID-19 Relief Response, World Vision 
India has helped over 4.8 million people since 
March 2020. We have provided food assistance 
through cooked food and dry rations to over 
565,751, people and 810,562 masks and 77,080 
gloves sets to community volunteers and health 
care facilities.
As the country fights the second wave of COVID-
19, our response will mainly focus on 
. strengthening health care systems, providing 
psycho-social support through trained community 
volunteers, creating awareness around 
vaccination, making it accessible to all and 
enabling them to avail it and strengthening 
community preparedness to deal with the surge of 
COVID-19.
