Emergency aid
rapid assistance given to people or countries in immediate distress to relieve suffering, during and after emergencies such as an earthquake. (e.g food supply)

Aid provides through Aus Aid programs
- Bilateral- assists neighboring countries to reduce poverty which can provide trade opportunities and boost our own economy
- Multilateral- extends the reach of Aus aid program to do large- scale projects
- Emergency- providing humanitarian assistance in time of crisis/need
- NGO’s- strengthen the aid program as they work in areas that are difficult to access, such as conflict affected regions

- Reducing impact of disasters (Helps communities identify disaster risks)
- Meeting humanitarian needs in crises (Hygiene kits provided to families feeling ongoing violence, reducing infectious diseases)
- Health, water, sanitation and hygiene (training locals to implement safe water and sanitation facilities in remote villages, reducing number of children getting sick with diarrheal/cholera- means they can attend school)
Program purpose
To provide sustainable access to 20 liters of clean drinking water per person per day to ten communities in Zabzugu region to reduce the prevalence of diseases in the community caused by drinking unsafe water
Program description
1: The program involves consultation with the community to install the wells in areas of greatest need. 2: 10 wells were installed and equipped with hand pumps as well as structures to protect the wells to avoid contamination of the water.
3: The establishment of a water committee in each community who were trained in the proper management of the wells to test the quality as well as how to best maintain them.
4: Additionally, the program trains two local technicians providing them with the tools needed to be able to carry out repairs.
5: The program has also set up a system in the community to raise funds needed for the ongoing maintenance and repair of the hand pump.
Program -> h&w
- Wells with hand pumps-avoid contamination-clean water for consumption-reduce diarrhoeal disease
- Training locals- empower them- skills provided to help whole community- confidence and self-esteem
Program -> hd
- Wells with hand pumps- avoid contamination- clean water for consumption- less children sick- increase access to knowledge (literacy and numeracy). – expands choices of employment in future
- Training two technicians- tools to repair, enhancing capabilities. – ability to work-earn income for decent standard of living
