Samaritan’s Purse is a non-profit, Christian organisation providing emergency relief and development assistance to suffering people around the world. Samaritan’s Purse is meeting the physical needs of victims of war, famine, natural disaster, poverty and disease with the aim of demonstrating God’s love and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. The aid and assistance are given without regard to the race, creed, gender, religion, or ethnicity of the beneficiaries.
When disasters strike around the world, Samaritan’s Purse responds immediately, quickly mobilising staff and experienced relief workers to partner with local churches to provide critically needed disaster relief to people in need.
We work in over 100 countries, addressing critical needs such as food, clean water, shelter and medicine. We also help hurting homeowners in Australia and New Zealand who are devastated by natural disasters.
We have responded to devastating floods and bushfires in Australia and New Zealand, crisis in places like Ukraine, Israel and Palestine, earthquakes in the Middle East and Haiti, typhoons and cyclones in places like the Philippines; and large-scale refugee crises in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
We also send teams to fight infectious diseases such as Ebola and Covid-19. After news of these disasters end, our work has only just begun. We are committed to the long term support and recovery of people in need, as well as spreading good news and great joy to children around the world with our project Operation Christmas Child.
Join us as we reach the needs of those in Australia and around world. Samaritan’s Purse equips people to proclaim, share and live out their faith. Together, we can bring hope, healing, and transformation to a hurting world.
