RAIN is an international, independent, not for profit, charitable organisation registered both as a charity and company limited by guarantee in England and Wales. Although we are a faith-based organisation, we strive to support individuals, groups, communities and nations in need anywhere in the world regardless of their beliefs. We believe that whenever there is crisis and humanitarian situations, help must be available to those who are in need of the compassion that we are obliged to provide because of our common humanity. We are determined to provide relief and assistance to people who have suffered from natural disasters and conflicts anywhere in the world, particularly in Africa. We work with local partners anywhere we intervene because we believe that local people are better placed to help themselves out of crisis and poverty given a quick helping hand to lift them out of their humanitarian conditions. Where possible, we build capacity for emergency preparedness in areas prone to disasters and help communities to develop resilience to withstand and deal with challenging conditions. We hope you would be motivated to join us as we strive to help people, transforming lives.
