Le concept d'aide
d'urgence
Emergency
aid is a scheme designed on an international basis by the
Society to help a country hit by a disaster or a tragedy. That
aid is aimed at rebuilding the area devastated either by a
man-caused catastrophe (war, people displacement), or by nature
(earthquake, floods, drought, typhoons, etc.) Help will be
provided for a limited period, but it may extend over several
years, depending on the size of the disaster.
One may point out
the area to which one particularly wishes to bring help, but
part of the donations will always be deposited on the emergency
fund so as to respond to similar needs in other parts of the
world.
How will aid be
allocated?
The
Society is established in various parts of the world. It is
strongly recommended that any Council or Conference in the world
bring support to the country where the disaster has taken place.
In accordance with
the wish of the national Society representative, the
International Council General will forward the funds
specifically intended to the country concerned, or the emergency
aid funds.
The beneficiary
country will be requested to inform the General International
Council of the way the funds received will have been used.
How to help?
The International
Council General has opened a special account to collect
donations. Please send your donations to the General Council.
You may, if you wish, specify to which disaster your donation
should be dedicated and make your choice known to:
However, in order to
benefit from possible tax bonuses, please send your donation to
the Higher Council of your own country who will forward it to
the GIC. Otherwise send your donations to the following account:
