Disasters like the earthquake in Türkiye-Syria need a quick response. That’s why we value every gift for disaster recovery and relief.
We all know how it works, don’t we? Disasters happen. We don’t know why. The poor suffer, we donate money, the West swoops in and fixes everything. Everyone lives happily ever after.
But that’s not how it works. There are no quick fixes. Recovery and rebuilding after a war, drought or tsunami can take decades. Psychological scars don’t heal when the TV crews move on.
BMS works with local partners. We directly support people who are on the ground and understand the situation. We don’t send goods manufactured here that threaten local economies there.
Our work is looking forward. We give more grants to long-term recovery than immediate relief – that might mean paying for trauma counselling, rebuilding businesses or replanting crops.
BMS raises money before disasters happen so that we can respond when they do. We can only do that because of you. Without your giving, none of the relief work we do could happen. With your giving it can.
You don’t have to wait until there’s a specific appeal or a disaster in the news to support BMS disaster recovery.
Why not check out our disaster recovery church resources right now? Share the video in your church, or order a stock of gift envelopes to use in the future.
The funds raised through the BMS Disaster Recovery Fund will be used to respond to relief emergencies and to help in the aftermath of disasters and the prevention of disasters. Any funds raised in excess of the amount required will be used to support other work in areas of significant need.
Disaster recovery gift envelopes for donations in your church. These envelopes include the Gift Aid option, which adds an additional 25p in the £ to your giving, at no extra cost to you.
Comes as pack of 25.
Please download and complete the remittance slip when sending in funds you have raised for disaster recovery.
