Help us to work together

flourish among us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

With a third of the country estimated to be under water – an area the size of the UK – people urgently need food, clean drinking water and shelter.’

The DEC’s 15 member charities are: Action Against Hunger, ActionAid UK, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International UK, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide UK, International Rescue Committee UK, Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam GB, Plan International UK, Save the Children UK, Tearfund and World Vision UK.
