Donating Money
Donating cash through trusted organisations enables them to act quickly and effectively; monies can be transferred quickly to places and people who need it, and aid organisations can use it to buy the most important resources, often purchasing from more local sources.
Established charities with experience of responding to disasters are usually best placed to reach victims on the ground from your cash donations.
