What works in humanitarian aid?

In a world where humanitarian needs are increasing and donors are increasingly withdrawing, what works to ease suffering?

In this report below from David Miliband of International Rescue Committee, there are some great insights about the innovation needed in the humanitarian sector. The article states:

💡 "We know what works: cash assistance, simplified malnutrition treatment, immunization and anticipatory climate action are consistently cost-effective and transformative. Our challenge is how to focus resources on these solutions which we know are effective."

Baal Dan Charities has been running for 20 years - focused on efficiency and grassroots programs at a small-scale that deliver aid directly to children that are in need.

💡 We are funding simplified malnutrition treatment for vulnerable children in Ethiopia, South Africa, India and Nepal. And we track every dollar and impact reporting transparently, while cutting out administrative expenses and bloat.

With over 240 million people requiring humanitarian aid in the next year, does our work make a difference when the needs and scale is so great?

As Mother Teresa said; "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."

💫 Please give to Baal Dan - every dollar makes a real difference for children in need and every donation is valued no matter the amount.

We live in a world where technological progress is speeding up, yet political and humanitarian safeguards are deteriorating even faster. Nearly 240 million people will require humanitarian aid in 2026, yet global funding has fallen by more than half. The challenge now is to deliver more protection with fewer resources and under worse conditions. Yet while the situation is dire, it is not hopeless.
We can build a humanitarian model that is smarter, faster and more efficient.
