Why do we do what we do?
We can all be moved by the plight of the people we see on our television screens almost every day, the reasons for their problems are clearly illustrated on these pages.

But whilst many of us are willing to put the odd few coins in a collection box, or go along to the local charity car boot sale on a Sunday morning - what prompts the rest of us to do something about it, in a hands-on way?

For the founders of Hope and Aid Direct, it was the worry that not all the money they had donated was going where they intended it should - to the people who needed it. Examples can been seen below and on the other pages within this web site. Please take the time to browse and find out more.

The additional humanitarian work carried out by our teams  includes assisting in projects such as rebuilding bombed schools, renovating orphanages, setting up co-operatives and supplying medical equipment to the General Hospital in Pristina.

Hope and Aid Direct is working directly with the survivors and assisting in resettlement. We do not use outside agencies to distribute our aid. However, we will often work hand in hand with outside organisations such as the British Army to help distribute the aid.

The UK Charity Hope and Aid Direct Code of Conduct
This code was developed and agreed upon by eight of the world's largest disaster response agencies in the summer of 1994 and represents a huge leap forward in setting standards for disaster response. It is being used by the International Federation to monitor its own standards of relief delivery and to encourage other agencies to set similar standards.
