Mission

It helps communities to alleviate the effects of disasters, disease and endemic poverty throughout the world by providing privately-funded relief, reconstruction and development aid. The organization works with partner agencies in many countries, including local and international ngo's, un and government health agencies and other civil society institutions. Each partner agency receives a list of available supplies and evaluates them in relation to local needs. Then the supplies are packed and shipped by air, sea and land to where the greatest need exists (including in areas of north america, europe, cambodia, el salvador, and turkey).

Programs

1 program

Other program services provided support ongoing long-term recovery, resiliency building and community development in areas of the united states. Ongoing domestic programs include distribution of cleaning and sanitizing materials to partners across southern california in support of continued covid-19 recovery and the management of an emergency disaster supply cache. Both internationally and domestically, operation usa continues to support communities where the organization established programs following major disasters.
