Medair's mandate is to provide humanitarian assistance to all people impacted by emergencies and crises, regardless of race, religion, creed, or nationality. All targeting decisions are based solely on humanitarian need as identified through independent needs assessments.

Medair's annual reports, audited financial statements, and programme evaluations are publicly available on its website medair.org. Transparency in financial reporting is a core commitment, and Medair welcomes scrutiny from donors, partners, and the public.

Many companies offer donation matching programmes. If your employer has a corporate giving scheme, ask your HR department whether donations to registered NGOs like Medair qualify. Matched giving can double or even triple the impact of your fundraising effort.
