War, epidemic, or natural disasters may cripple a whole nation with both short and long term consequences.
AMU has always been on the front line of humanitarian emergencies with its first aid programs for families, ranging from direct economic help to psychological and social support.
In conjunction with other NGOs, associations, or local members of the Focolare Movement, AMU organise first aid operations keeping in mind the real needs of the people involved and evaluating reconstruction and recovery strategies from day one.
And we applied such strategies in Kerala, in the aftermath of the earthquake in Ecuador, during the war in Syria, and—recently—in Italy to help local farmers start again their activities after earthquakes and natural disasters.
