5 Who we support

6 Our History Founded in 1980 by a civil engineer one of the first engineers to respond to a humanitarian crisis: "When I returned from the refugee crisis in Malaysia I saw the pressing need for skilled people who could be called upon at short notice to work with frontline relief agencies.

9 Our Impact: Rohingya When I arrived people were drawing dirty water from handdug wells. It was not drinkable, but people were using it because there was no alternative So far we have dug 4 large water tanks, 20 wells and 3 deep boreholes. We have also built health structures The first bucket of clean water we drew left one of my engineers in tears it s such a great thing to provide people with what they so desperately need. The scale of the Rohingya crisis means we need many more people to work here. We have a good Bangladeshi workforce, who are benefitting from paid employment. We need to raise their skills so they can be effective. The best thing RedR does is to train local people. It s the training that lasts the longest, and stays with them. This is how we make a difference. Paul Jawor, RedR Member and trainee participant

10 Our Impact: Kenya Here at Save the Children we are focusing on children from birth to 18 years. They come with a lot of issues surrounding them. Having attended the training, I now know the importance of understanding whether our interventions are inclusive. We do a lot of sensitization and awareness in the community on the rights of children of the policy of do no harm and everything that comes with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. I would recommend that everyone in my organisation attend the training Diana Kaduka works in Dadaab Refugee Camp, Kenya, for Save the Children. Dadaab is home to 238,000 refugees. She attended RedR s Gender, Age and Disability course held in October 2017 in Nairobi. The important thing is empowering communities to know the disabled people in their community and what they need, whether it is accessibility, a vehicle, a special school. Grace Mercy, RedR trainee

11 Our Impact: Syrian Crisis A lot of the people who work for NGOs here are young graduates who are new to professional life. They need support in things like project, people and budget management. And because they are just starting out in the sector, they also need to be trained in the basics of humanitarian principles and practice. These are people who may go on to have careers in the sector, either in their home countries or elsewhere: some of them may be future international staff. As such, we need to invest in them. Andy Boscoe manages Oxfam s projects in Za atari camp We are the local capacities; all these guidelines and standards are for us. The power is in our hands, because we are the ones who are dealing immediately with the beneficiaries. Ayat Al-Khateeb, RedR trainee
