2022: It Takes a Village

WHD 2022

Whenever and wherever people are in crisis, there are others who help them.

From the affected people themselves – always first to respond when disaster strikes – to the global community that supports them as they recover, they come together to ease suffering and bring hope.

Because, as the saying goes: It takes a village to support people in crisis.

It takes a village
