Post-Disaster

Rebuilding Livelihoods Following Disaster

CHF's response to disaster is based on the fundamental idea that communities should not just be rebuilt, but that they should be built back better — that is, in ways that transform the lives of the poor and strengthen their resilience to disaster.

CHF's Post-Disaster pamphlet provides information on our approach to post-disaster programming, along with summaries or relevant projects and staff.
