MYANMAR EARTHQUAKE
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has devastated huge areas of Myanmar. People urgently need help to survive.
More than 3,000 people have died and hundreds of people are still missing. Many more have no access to the safe shelter, clean water, food and medical care they need to survive. Please donate now!
A Coalition of Leading New Zealand Humanitarian Charities
Who We Are
The Emergency Alliance brings together eight leading humanitarian agencies to raise funds quickly and efficiently at times of crisis overseas.
These organisations are experts in humanitarian aid and disaster response. These members fund our running costs. They are allocated funds raised in our appeals for their vital work.
We combine our expertise and pool our resources. Working as one, we direct our supporters’ care into a targeted response to international emergencies. In collaboration with our Rapid Response Network of national media and corporate partners, we raise the alarm to New Zealanders with easy ways to donate.
And we have immediate impact. We get aid to people who need it, fast.
How We Work
When disaster strikes overseas, Emergency Alliance helps New Zealanders respond with speed and impact, getting lifesaving aid to the affected communities. By working together we can channel the care and passion of New Zealanders into a fast and effective response to international emergencies. This allows us to help more people in their greatest moment of need. Pooling our resources to work as one, we represent the simple and effective choice for New Zealanders who want to help those affected by major catastrophes.

Donate
The best way to help is to donate to our appeals. Your money will be used to help those affected quickly and efficiently through our network of members.
If there’s an emergency overseas and we don't launch an appeal, you can still use our website to find out which member organisations are on the ground helping people and communities affected by the disaster.
Learn
Finding out how our members help in emergencies is a powerful way to get involved. It’s important to know that there is more to disaster response than helping with the community's immediate needs.
Rebuilding after a disaster is as important as the early life saving work that our member organisations provide. And when we help communities rebuild, they are stronger and more resilient to future emergencies.
Share
Whether you’re chatting to your colleagues, emailing family or sharing with friends on social media, updating your network about an emergency is the best way to increase public support for our work.
The more we can elevate the conversation during an appeal, the more support we can provide to vulnerable communities in the face of disaster.
