Around the world, millions of people lack access to adequate housing, food, jobs, energy, clean water and proper hygiene.

Even before the spread of COVID-19, OCHA’s “Global Humanitarian Overview 2020,” estimated that 168 million people worldwide will need assistance this year— the “highest figure in decades.”

According to the United Nations, the situation will continue to worsen unless climate change and the root causes of conflict are better addressed.

Religious communities are stepping up to the challenge, working to alleviate suffering through conflict prevention/resolution, and mobilising aid and financial resources.

Join KAICIID and guests as we discuss how religious communities are using dialogue to support the international development community in humanitarian aid efforts by addressing social inequalitities and offering services such as refugee relief, job and housing provision and clean water/sanitation.
