Medair is a humanitarian organisation inspired by Christian faith to relieve human suffering in some of the world’s most remote and devastated places. We bring help to people in crisis, regardless of race, creed, or nationality. As signatories of the ICRC Code of Conduct, we believe that aid should be given to everyone who is in need, and not be used to further any political, social, or religious viewpoint. We save lives in emergencies and then help people recover from crisis with dignity through services in health care and nutrition; water, sanitation, and hygiene; and shelter and infrastructure.
