Aid cuts incur a human cost
Together we can put the human back into humanitarian aid.
Humanitarian programs are life-changing (and saving) for people displaced by conflict and disaster. People who are in crisis.
But with governments around the world slashing aid funding, the impact on displaced communities is catastrophic.
Cutting aid budgets comes with a human cost. And we don’t want to pay it.
No human should have to pay for budget cuts with their safety, their dignity, or their life. We won’t trade lives for bottom lines.
Together we can put the human back into humanitarian aid, for humanKind. Act for peace today.

The funding reductions come with a human cost – representing immediate threats to lives and decades of humanitarian progress, affecting thousands of people. Humans who need our help the most.
Humanitarian programs aid people in need to rebuild their lives. This is not just a funding shortfall – it’s a global humanitarian emergency with the potential to cause enduring harm for decades to come.
Without immediate action, more lives will be lost and more progress will be undone.
